Sortie d'un fondateur clauses in a shareholders' agreement

What happens when a founder leaves, or when two partners can no longer agree? This category covers the clauses that organize a founder's exit and the buyback of their shares, plus the mechanisms to break a deadlock. On the buyback side: terms and price for repurchasing the shares, valuation by an independent expert, deferred payment, earn-out on the buyback. On the deadlock side: buy-sell (shotgun), Russian roulette, Texas shoot-out, which force one partner to buy out the other or sell. And the resolution framework: mandatory mediation, arbitration, governing law. These clauses feel far away when you sign, but they decide how much damage is done the day things go wrong. Atlas shows you the standard wording and the traps in deadlock clauses.
