A share sale and purchase transaction is a widely used practice to change the structure of a company’s participants. The transaction can be carried out both between existing participants and for the inclusion of new participants.
In the procedure of a share transaction, it is essential to plan the process correctly, considering all the nuances:
Are individuals or legal entities involved in the transaction?
— What country or jurisdiction are the participants residents of?
— Are there any restrictions?
According to the current practice, transactions with shares involving residents of the Russian Federation or friendly countries do not require additional permitting procedures.
However, if we are talking about foreign participants in a Russian company, the procedure, like any step related to international interaction, requires a qualified approach, experience in the international sphere and strict adherence to regulations and procedures.
