Grant of Preemptive Rights Sample Clauses
A Grant of Preemptive Rights clause gives existing shareholders the first opportunity to purchase new shares issued by a company before they are offered to outside investors. In practice, when the company plans to issue additional stock, it must notify current shareholders and allow them to buy a proportional amount to maintain their ownership percentage. This clause helps prevent dilution of existing shareholders' equity and ensures they can retain their level of control or investment in the company.
