Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Subsidiary of the Clause Samples

This clause defines and regulates the types of debt, disqualified stock, or preferred stock that a subsidiary of the main company may issue or hold. It typically sets out the conditions under which a subsidiary can incur indebtedness or issue certain classes of stock, often restricting these actions to prevent excessive risk or loss of control by the parent company. By establishing clear boundaries for subsidiary financial activities, the clause helps maintain the financial stability of the overall corporate group and protects the interests of the parent company and its stakeholders.
