Share Purchase: can be done from an existing shareholder, who holds the shares to be "purchased". Therefore its an acquisition of shares from an existing shareholder of a Company, by another person (who may be another shareholder, or a third party non-shareholder);

Share Subscripttion: is done for fresh shares which are issued by the Company to such person. The subscriber may be an existing shareholder, or a new a third party non-shareholder. Either case, the shares to be subscribed are not held by anyone one else.
