Holder of Rights Not Deemed a Shareholder Clause Samples

The 'Holder of Rights Not Deemed a Shareholder' clause establishes that individuals or entities who possess certain rights related to company shares—such as options, warrants, or convertible securities—are not considered shareholders until those rights are exercised and actual shares are issued. For example, someone holding a stock option does not have voting rights, dividend entitlements, or other privileges reserved for shareholders until they convert their option into shares. This clause clarifies the distinction between potential and actual shareholders, preventing confusion over rights and obligations and ensuring that only those who hold issued shares are treated as shareholders under the company's governing documents.
