Piggyback Registrations Sample Clauses
A Piggyback Registrations clause allows certain shareholders to include their shares in a company’s registration of securities for a public offering. When the company decides to register its own shares for sale to the public, shareholders with piggyback rights can request that their shares be registered and sold alongside the company’s shares, subject to any limitations or priorities set by the underwriters. This clause ensures that minority or early investors have an opportunity to sell their shares during a public offering, providing liquidity and fair access to the benefits of a public market.
