Investopedia explains 'Shareholders' Agreement'

The shareholders’ agreement is intended to make sure that shareholders are treated fairly and that their rights are protected.

The agreement includes sections outlining the fair and legitimate pricing of shares (particularly when sold). It also allows shareholders to make decisions about what outside parties may become future shareholders and provides safeguards for minority positions.
