The Shareholder Loan Agreement is a crucial document used when a Danish company extends credit to its shareholders, a practice that was significantly reformed by the 2016 amendments to the Danish Companies Act. This agreement is essential for documenting the loan terms, ensuring market-standard interest rates, and maintaining compliance with Danish corporate and tax laws. It becomes necessary when shareholders require financing and the company has available funds, subject to certain statutory conditions being met. The document includes detailed provisions on loan amount, interest, repayment schedule, security arrangements, and default provisions. It must be carefully structured to avoid adverse tax consequences and ensure compliance with Danish corporate governance requirements, particularly regarding company capital maintenance rules and shareholder rights. The agreement is typically used in conjunction with board reֱs and may require specific corporate approvals depending on the loan's size and the company's articles of association.
