My company recently received an investment from a large corporate firm, which is known for its unethical business practices. We are now exploring ways to divest our shares in the company while minimizing potential legal risks. How do we go about doing this?

Your company might consider purchasing a “put option” to force the corporate firm to buy back your shares at an agreed-upon price. This gives you flexibility while allowing you to divest from the company if necessary. You could also negotiate a “call option” with the corporate firm, which would give them the right, but not the obligation, to purchase your shares at a fixed rate. Another option would be for your company to enter into a long-term strategic partnership with another entity so that it may divest its interests in that investment in time without incurring any serious legal repercussions.

It is advised that you first seek legal advice on the best approach to divesting from this corporate firm while avoiding legal risks. You could consider options such as selling your shares in a private deal or transferring your shareholding to another buyer.
