SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENTS
A shareholder agreement can also limit a stockholder’s actions after his/her shares are sold. The most important issues that are addressed by shareholder agreements are those that address stock ownership. A shareholder agreement can serve two important purposes with regard to stock ownership— it can control when a stock is sold and to whom. It can also limit a stockholder’s actions after his/her shares are sold.

In order to be enforceable, this provision must be carefully written so as to allow the selling shareholder a reasonable opportunity to make a living and not unduly restrict economic competition.
