Payback of the shares

From what I understood there are two documented ways to sell all your shares

  • Fairphone as a whole gets sold → you will be required to sell all your shares (“drag-along” section in the contract)
  • after 8 years (so in 2026) Fairphone may spend part of their profits to buy back shares (that info was already in the investor sheet, but details of the process are not available yet AFAIK)

But yes, both are things not under your control.

In principle it should also be possible to sell shares directly to other shareholders but so far all feedback on that was that there doesn’t seem to be a process in place how to actually do that.
