The set of agreements under this section looks at the agreements relating to the sponsors, or the equity holders of the project company. The agreements considered here are:
• the shareholders' agreement, which includes constitutional documents of the project company where the rights and interests in shares are provided not in an agreement but in the constitutional documents of the project company (for example, the constitution or articles of association of the project company);
• the shareholders' loan agreement; and
• the options agreement.
Following a description of these agreements, the key issues from the government's perspective are considered.
