Specified Change of Control Clause Samples
A Specified Change of Control clause defines the consequences that occur if there is a significant change in the ownership or control of a party to the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines what constitutes a change of control—such as a merger, acquisition, or transfer of a majority of shares—and may trigger certain rights or obligations, like early termination, consent requirements, or automatic assignment of the contract. Its core function is to protect parties from unforeseen risks or undesirable business relationships that could arise if the other party undergoes a major change in control.
