Secondary Registration Statement Clause Samples

A Secondary Registration Statement is a legal provision that allows existing shareholders to register and sell their shares in a company through a public offering, rather than the company itself issuing new shares. This clause typically outlines the process by which shareholders can request the company to file a registration statement with regulatory authorities, enabling them to resell their shares to the public. Its core practical function is to provide liquidity for shareholders by facilitating the resale of their securities, while also ensuring compliance with securities laws and maintaining transparency in the transfer of ownership.
