UAE Regulations/Compliance
Understanding Share Transfer & Exit Structuring Requirements in the UAE
Share transfers and exit structuring in the UAE are governed by various regulations, including Federal Law No. 2 of 2015 on Commercial Companies. Key considerations include:
Pre-Approval Requirements: Prior to any share transfer, pre-approval from the relevant registration authority is mandatory. This involves submitting all necessary documents and undergoing due diligence checks.
- Notarization of Documents: Share Transfer Agreements and amendments to the MOA must be notarized and, if bilingual, attested by a sworn translator.
- Pre-Emption Rights: Shareholders of LLCs have statutory pre-emption rights on share transfers, which cannot be waived unless agreed upon by all shareholders.
- Valuation Methods: Determining the value of shares can involve pre-determined formulas, fair market assessments by qualified third parties, or matching offers from interested third parties.
We ensure that all Lifestyle & Legal Support comply with UAE laws and provide peace of mind.
