Change in the Ownership of the Company Sample Clauses

The "Change in the Ownership of the Company" clause defines what happens if there is a significant shift in who controls or owns the company, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a majority of shares. Typically, this clause outlines the rights and obligations of the parties involved, which may include triggering certain contractual rights, requiring notification, or allowing for early termination of agreements. Its core function is to protect the interests of stakeholders by ensuring that all parties are aware of and can respond appropriately to major changes in the company's ownership structure.
Change in the Ownership of the Company. A change in the ownership of the Company shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in clause (iii) below), acquires ownership of capital stock of the Company that, together with capital stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of the Company. However, if any one person or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional capital stock by the same person or persons shall not be considered to be a change in the ownership of the Company. An increase in the percentage of capital stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires capital stock in the Company in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this paragraph.
