Formally, such agreements will often regulate how the shareholders are to vote at the company\u2019s general meeting or how other shareholder rights are to be exercised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shareholders\u2019 agreements are not directly regulated by the Private Limited Liability Companies Act. Legal issues relating to shareholders\u2019 agreements must therefore be resolved on the basis of general contract law principles, viewed in light of the corporate law context.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be several reasons why shareholders choose to enter into a shareholders\u2019 agreement instead of regulating matters in the articles of association.

If the company is to have more than one chief executive officer, or if the board of directors or the supervisory board is to be able to decide that the company shall have more than one chief executive officer, this must be stated in the articles of association. In such case, it must also be stated whether the multiple chief executive officers shall act as a collective body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The chief executive officer is appointed by the board of directors, unless it is stated in the articles of association that this shall be done by the general meeting.

If it has been agreed that the company shall not have a supervisory board, the chief executive officer shall always be appointed by the board of directors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The chief executive officer is responsible for the day-to-day management of the company\u2019s business and shall comply with the guidelines and instructions issued by the board of directors.

A corresponding provision is set out in the Public Limited Companies Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The requirement regarding equity is intended to protect both shareholders and the company\u2019s creditors. The rule is preventive in nature, aiming to ensure that the company\u2019s equity and liquidity do not fall below a sound level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The requirement also acts as a restriction on the company\u2019s ability to make distributions of its assets, etc. Whether the company has sound equity and liquidity will therefore be relevant, among other things, to whether dividends may be distributed and, if so, how much may be distributed.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"toggle default\"><h3><a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon-plus-sign\"><\/i>Increase of share capital<\/a><\/h3><div>\r\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A share issue (equity issuance) involves an increase in a company\u2019s share capital.
