About this document
A share subscription and issuance agreement records that a person has agreed to take a stated number of a company's shares at a stated price, and that the company will issue them once it is paid. It gives the company and the subscriber the same written account of the deal.
This blank form is signed by the company and the subscriber. You fill in the number, class and price of the shares and how they are paid for. It does not choose a price or a class for you.

Questions
About the share issuance documents
No. The company confirms the issue has been approved as its own documents require, but the approval itself, usually a board resolution, is separate. A corporate resolution form is available.
