The Restricted Share Purchase Agreement is commonly used when companies want to issue shares while maintaining control over ownership and creating retention incentives. This document, governed by U.S. securities laws, establishes terms for restricted share purchases, including vesting schedules, transfer limitations, and repurchase rights. It's particularly valuable for startups and established companies offering equity compensation to employees or dealing with early-stage investors. The agreement must comply with SEC regulations, state corporate laws, and often includes tax considerations under IRC Section 83.
