Change of Control/Change in Management Clause Samples
A Change of Control/Change in Management clause defines the rights and obligations of the parties if there is a significant shift in ownership or leadership of one of the entities involved in 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 grant the other party the right to terminate the contract, renegotiate terms, or require notification. Its core function is to protect parties from unforeseen risks or altered business relationships that may arise if the company they are contracting with undergoes substantial changes in ownership or management structure.
