Indeed, whether it is because of a death, the implementation of a first refusal clause<\/a>, a mandatory offer clause<\/a>, a right or obligation to follow clause, or any offer regulating the purchase and sale of shares, it is necessary to know how to calculate the value of the shares, at a given time.<\/p>\n

The evaluation clause is a contractual term that meets this need, i.e., a section of the shareholders’ agreement<\/a> can specify the valuation method to be followed in order to quickly and accurately calculate the value of the shares of each class according to the wishes of the parties.
