A Minnesota Buy Sell or Stock Purchase Agreement Covering Common Stock in a Closely Held Corporation with an Option to Fund Purchase through Life Insurance is a legally binding agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of buying or selling common stock in a closely held corporation in the state of Minnesota. This type of agreement also allows the option to finance the purchase through a life insurance policy. The agreement typically includes key provisions such as the identification of the buyer and the seller, the number of shares being bought or sold, the purchase price per share, and the payment terms. It also covers various contingencies that may arise, such as the death or disability of a shareholder, divorce, retirement, or a desire to exit the business. The Buy Sell or Stock Purchase Agreement may contain different variations depending on the specific circumstances or preferences of the parties involved. Some common variations include: 1. Cross-Purchase Agreement: Under this type of agreement, each shareholder agrees to purchase the shares of the other shareholders in the event of a triggering event, such as death or disability. The purchase is financed through life insurance policies owned by each shareholder on the lives of the other shareholders. 2. Stock Redemption Agreement: In this agreement, the corporation agrees to redeem the shares of a shareholder in the event of a triggering event. The corporation typically funds the purchase through a life insurance policy on the life of the shareholder. 3. Hybrid Agreement: This type of agreement combines elements of both the cross-purchase and stock redemption agreements. The shareholders have the option to purchase each other's shares, and if they choose not to, the corporation can redeem the shares using an insurance policy. These variations allow shareholders to tailor the agreement to suit their specific needs and preferences, ensuring a smooth transition of ownership in the closely held corporation in the event of a triggering event. It is important to consult with a qualified attorney or legal professional when drafting or entering into a Minnesota Buy Sell or Stock Purchase Agreement Covering Common Stock in a Closely Held Corporation with an Option to Fund Purchase through Life Insurance.
