Shares of Dissenting Holders Clause Samples
The "Shares of Dissenting Holders" clause defines how shares owned by shareholders who do not agree with a proposed corporate action, such as a merger or acquisition, are treated. Typically, this clause outlines the process by which dissenting shareholders can exercise their rights, such as demanding payment of the fair value of their shares instead of accepting the terms of the transaction. For example, it may specify the steps dissenting holders must follow to assert their rights and how their shares are excluded from the transaction. The core function of this clause is to protect minority shareholders by providing a clear mechanism for them to opt out of a transaction they oppose, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring fair treatment.
Shares of Dissenting Holders. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, each Dissenting Share shall automatically be canceled (but shall not entitle its holder to receive the applicable consideration in respect of such canceled Dissenting Share contemplated by Section 2.01) and, without any further action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or the holder of such Dissenting Share, automatically be converted into the right to receive the appraised fair value of such Dissenting Share in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL unless and until such holder fails to comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s rights to receive payment under Section 262 of the DGCL.
(b) In the event that a holder of Dissenting Shares fails to comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL or effectively withdraws or loses such holder’s rights to receive payment under Section 262 of the DGCL, then such Dissenting Shares will no longer be Dissenting Shares for purposes of this Agreement and instead will be treated as the applicable class of Common Shares, and such holder shall have no rights with respect to such Dissenting Shares, and instead shall have the rights with respect to such Common Shares contemplated by Section 2.01.
(c) The Company shall (i) give Parent prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal of Dissenting Shares and any other written instruments, notices, petitions or other communications received by the Company or its Representatives in connection with the foregoing and (ii) give Parent the opportunity to participate with the Company in any settlement negotiations and proceedings with respect to any demands for appraisal pursuant to the DGCL in respect of such Dissenting Shares.
