Shareholder Approval Clause Samples

The Shareholder Approval clause requires that certain actions or decisions by a company receive formal consent from its shareholders before proceeding. Typically, this applies to significant matters such as mergers, acquisitions, amendments to corporate bylaws, or the issuance of new shares, where a vote is held and a specified majority must agree. By mandating shareholder involvement in key decisions, this clause ensures that major changes reflect the collective interests of the owners and helps prevent unilateral actions by management that could adversely affect shareholders.

Shareholder Approval. “Shareholder Approval” means the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting Common Shares, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the February 2023 Purchase Agreements, including the issuance of all of the Common Shares underlying the February 2023 Notes, Common Shares underlying the February 2023 Warrants, and February 2023 Commitment Shares, in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the Closing Date (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap is equal to 860,464 Common Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, rights offerings, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock). The Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders on or before the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the date of this Agreement for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting as often as possible thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the Shareholder Approval is obtained. Until such approval is obtained, none of the February 2023 Buyers shall be issued in the aggregate, pursuant to the February 2023 Purchase Agreements or upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of February 2023 Notes or February 2023 Warrants, Common Shares in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the purchase price paid by such Buyer pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate purchase price paid by the February 2023 Buyers for the February 2023 Notes (with respect to each of the February 2023 Buyers, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Buyer’s February 2023 Notes, February 2023 Warrants, or February 2023 Commitment Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Buyer’s Exchange Ca...
