Certain Indirect Prohibited Acquisitions Sample Clauses

The 'Certain Indirect Prohibited Acquisitions' clause restricts parties from acquiring interests in a company or its assets through indirect means that would otherwise be prohibited if done directly. This typically covers scenarios where a party might attempt to circumvent direct ownership restrictions by using affiliates, intermediaries, or other entities to gain control or influence. By addressing both direct and indirect acquisitions, the clause ensures that the intent of ownership limitations is upheld and prevents parties from bypassing restrictions through creative structuring, thereby maintaining compliance and protecting the interests of the parties involved.
Certain Indirect Prohibited Acquisitions. In the event an Acquisition would be in violation of this Article II, Section 12, as a result of attribution under federal tax and securities laws to the intended transferee of the ownership of Shares by a Person (an “Other Person”) who is not controlling, controlled by or under common control with the intended transferee, which ownership is nevertheless attributed under federal tax and securities laws to the intended transferee, the restrictions contained in this Article II, Section 12, shall not apply in a manner that would invalidate any Acquisition to such Other Person, and the intended transferee and any Persons controlling, controlled by or under common control with the intended transferee (collectively, the “Intended Transferee Group”) shall automatically be deemed to have transferred to the Trust, sufficient Shares (which Shares shall: (i) consist only of Shares held legally or beneficially, whether directly or indirectly, by any member of the Intended Transferee Group, but not Shares held through any Other Person, other than Shares held through a Person acting as agent or fiduciary for any member of the Intended Transferee Group; (ii) be deemed transferred to the Trust, in the inverse order in which it was acquired by members of the Intended Transferee Group, and (iii) be treated as Excess Shares) to cause the intended transferee, following such transfer to the Trust, not to be in violation of the restrictions contained in this Article II, Section 12; provided, however, that to the extent the foregoing provisions of this subsection (f) would not be effective to prevent an Acquisition in violation of this Article II, Section 12, the restrictions contained in this Article II, Section 12, shall apply to such other Shares owned by the intended transferee (including Shares actually owned by Other Persons), in a manner designed to minimize the amount of Shares subject to the restrictions contained in this Article II, Section 12, or as otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees to be necessary to prevent an Acquisition in violation of the restrictions contained in this Article II, Section 12 (which Shares shall be treated as Excess Shares).
