shareholders' agreement. When a new shareholder acquires shares in a company, they sign the Deed of Adherence to formally agree to abide by the rights and obligations set out in the original agreement. This process ensures that all parties, including newcomers, are subject to the same rules and protections, maintaining consistency and preventing disputes over contractual obligations."}, "json": true, "cursor": ""}}
