Piggy Back Registration Clause Samples
A Piggy-Back Registration clause allows certain shareholders, typically minority or non-controlling investors, to include their shares in a company's public offering when the company or another shareholder initiates a registration of shares for sale. In practice, if the company files to register shares with the SEC for a public offering, shareholders with piggy-back rights can request that their shares be included in that registration, subject to any limitations or priorities set by the company or underwriters. This clause ensures that these shareholders have an opportunity to sell their shares alongside the primary offering, providing liquidity and protecting their interests by not being left out of significant sale events.

Piggy Back Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Act or pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), collectively referred to as the “Securities Acts,” whether or not for sale for its own account, it will each such time give prompt written notice to the Optionee of its intention to do so (the “Registration Notice”). Upon the written request of the Optionee, made within fifteen (15) business days after the receipt of the Registration Notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Acts of such amount of the Option Shares as the Optionee requests, by inclusion of such Option Shares in the registration statement that relates to the securities which the Company proposes to register, provided that if, at any time after giving the Registration Notice and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Optionee (the “Refusal Notice”) and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register the Option Shares in connection with such terminated registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses (as defined herein) in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering the Option Shares, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

The Holder shall exercise the "piggy-back registration rights" granted pursuant to this Section 7 by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days of the receipt of the written notice from the Company described above.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Company's obligations under this Section 7 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter of the public offering of the Common Stock gives written notice to the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter, marketing factors require a limitation of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be underwritten, then the number of Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall be obligated to include in the registration statement shall be reduced in accordance with the limitations imposed by the managing underwriter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering delivers an opinion to the Creditor that the total amount of securities which it or the Borrower or any other persons or entities intend to include in such offering is sufficiently large to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for the accounts of the Creditor shall be reduced pro rata with respect to each holder to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities (other than those exercising demand registration rights) as well as the Borrower, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of securities intended to be offered by the Creditor than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities with respect to the amount of securities they intended to offer.
