Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants Clause Samples

The 'Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants' clause defines the terms and conditions under which certain investors, typically sponsors or select parties, are granted the right to purchase warrants either in a private placement at the time of an initial public offering or through forward purchase agreements. These warrants often have specific pricing, vesting, and transfer restrictions that differ from those offered to the public, and may be exercisable only after certain conditions are met, such as the completion of a business combination. The core function of this clause is to outline the special rights and obligations associated with these warrants, ensuring clarity for all parties and facilitating the company's capital-raising efforts while managing dilution and investor incentives.
