Parties of the Shareholders’ Agreement by E. M. Bondariev

“…On the basis of the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine and other countries, as well as the legal doctrine of corporate law, the author has concluded that exclusively shareholders of a particular company should be recognized as such persons, since they as the holders of subjective corporate rights, have the opportunity to exercise them in the manner determined by such an agreement. Contracts between third-party entities and shareholders, where the latter undertake to exercise their corporate rights in shares, in accordance with the directions of third parties, can not be attributed to shareholders’ agreements because the subject matter and purpose of such agreements and shareholders’ agreements do not coincide. …”
