When a MT pharmacy is owned by at least two people, the stockholders or partners should have what's known as a Buy-Sell Agreement. This agreement is a written document that specifies the procedures for and governs the future sale of the pharmacy business.
The pharmacy buy-sell Agreement in Montana protects the interest of the parties who own the pharmacy and specifies the actions triggered by a stockholder leaving the business due to their death, disability, dissolution, retirement, or divorce. It governs how and when shares of the pharmacy business can be transferred or sold and it also provides guidance as to how the pharmacy will be valued. It also outlines the obligations of the remaining shareholders of theMontana
These agreements are important because the elements of a future sell will be predetermined and there will be no need for negotiation during a heated dispute or grieving period. It provides a level of comfort and assurance that the process was thoroughly planned to both the stockholder and the family when the inevitable time comes for an exit strategy.
There are disadvantages to not having a buy-sell agreement between pharmacy owners. A disability potentially leaves one partner working more while another is not adding any productivity. In the case of a death and there is no agreement, one partner may be stuck with a non-productive heir, or a new partner may be inserted who has a conflicting personality with the remaining partner. An incompatible partner could be disastrous for the pharmacy business in MT.
Buy-sell agreements come in several forms, such as: Entity Buy-Sell Agreement, Cross-Purchase Buy-Sell Agreement, Wait and See Buy-Sell Agreement, Disability Buy-Sell Agreement. Buy-sell agreements are also known as a Business Will or a Buyout Agreement.
Potential elements of a Montana Buy-Sell Agreement:
1. Stockholders names and the number of shares and voting rights of each.
2. Guidance for the certified MT pharmacy valuation and purchase of a stockholder’s shares.
3. Mutual covenants and considerations.
4. Restrictions on transferring, purchasing or encumbering the company’s stock.
5. Protocol in the event of a shareholder’s divorce or termination of a shareholders employment.
6. Obligation to buy/sell shares from an estate.
7. Purchase of insurance to ensure ability to meet obligations.
8. Purchase of stock paid in lump sum or by installments.
9. Remedies for breach of the agreement or default of payment.
