Yes, two shareholders who have just opened a company can enter into a share distribution contract,
even if the company has not yet issued shares to the public. In this scenario, the share distribution
contract would outline the ownership rights and responsibilities of each shareholder in the newly
formed company.

The share distribution contract between the two shareholders can address important details such as:

1. Percentage of Ownership: The contract can specify the percentage of ownership that each
shareholder holds in the company. This is important for determining each shareholder's voting rights
and share of profits or losses.

2. Voting Rights: The contract can outline how voting rights will be allocated among the shareholders.
This includes decisions on company operations, strategic direction, and major corporate transactions.
3. Transfer of Shares: The contract can specify whether and how shares can be transferred between the
shareholders or to third parties. This helps regulate the process of changing ownership interests in the
company.

4. Responsibilities and Obligations: The contract can detail the responsibilities and obligations of each
shareholder in terms of their roles within the company, financial contributions, and any specific duties
they are expected to perform.

5. Dispute Resolution: The contract can include provisions for resolving disputes between the
shareholders, such as through mediation, arbitration, or other means to avoid conflicts that could harm
the company.

While a share distribution contract between two shareholders of a newly formed company may not
involve the issuance of shares to external investors, it is still a valuable document that helps establish
the framework for their relationship as co-owners of the business. This contract can provide clarity on
each shareholder's rights and obligations, helping to prevent misunderstandings and potential conflicts
in the future.
