Demand Registration Clause Samples

The Demand Registration clause outlines the process by which shareholders can require a company to register their shares for public sale. Typically, this clause specifies the minimum number of shares needed to trigger the registration, the procedures for making a demand, and any limitations on the frequency or timing of such requests. Its core function is to provide shareholders with a mechanism to achieve liquidity by facilitating the public resale of their shares, thereby addressing the problem of restricted transferability in private companies.

Demand Registration. Subject to Section 2.1(c) and 2.3 hereof, at any time on or after the first anniversary of the closing date of the IPO, each Holder may deliver to the Company a written notice (a “Demand Registration Notice”) informing the Company of such Holder’s desire to have some or all of their Registrable Securities registered for sale by the Company (a “Demand Registration”). Each Demand Registration Notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered by the Company. Upon receipt of the Demand Registration Notice, if the Company has not already caused the Registrable Securities to be included as part of an existing shelf registration statement and related prospectus that the Company then has on file with, and has been declared effective by, the Commission and which remains in effect and not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission (in which event the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its registration obligation under this Section 2), then the Company will cause to be filed with the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the Demand Registration Notice, but in no event more than ninety (90) days following receipt of such notice, a new registration statement and related prospectus that complies as to form in all material respects with applicable Commission rules providing for the sale by such Holder or group of Holders of the Registrable Securities (the “Demand Registration Statement”), and agrees (subject to Section 2.2 hereof) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable following the filing thereof (if it is not an automatically effective shelf registration statement). The Company shall give written notice of the proposed filing of the Demand Registration Statement to all Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to participate in such Demand Registration Statement shall notify the Company in writing within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company, and shall specify in such notice the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Demand Registration
Demand Registration. (a) At any time during the period beginning one hundred eighty (180) days following the IPO and prior to the Distribution or, should the Separation and Distribution Agreement be terminated prior to the Distribution, at any time thereafter, CCI may submit a Registration Request for Demand Registration covering all or part of the Registerable Shares, which request must request registration of at least the Minimum Amount. The Registration Request shall state the number of Registerable Shares to be registered and the intended plan of distribution thereof. uBid shall be obligated to register Registerable Shares pursuant to this Section 2 on a total of only two (2) occasions. A request withdrawn pursuant to Subsection 2(c) hereof or deemed to be a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Subsection 2(d) hereof shall be ignored for this purpose. uBid shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation under this Section 2 with respect to a Registration Request if a registration statement filed pursuant to a Registration Request becomes effective under the Act and remains effective for the period required hereby, or if the failure of such a registration statement to become or remain effective results primarily from any action or inaction of CCI. Subject to the conditions and limitations of Section 4 hereof, uBid will use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Act registering the Registerable Shares covered by a Registration Request within forty-five (45) days after it receives such Registration Request unless such Registration Request is withdrawn as permitted by Subsection 2(c) hereof. (b) The right to Demand Registration is subject to the procedures in Section 4 hereof and the following additional conditions and limitations: (i) CCI may withdraw the Registerable Shares from a Registration Request at any time prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective, provided that uBid may ignore a notice of withdrawal made within 24 hours of the time the registration statement becomes

A non-Initiating Holder must notify the Company within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice if such non-Initiating Holder so desires to have its Registrable Securities registered. The Company will use best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration of all Registrable Securities that the Holders (both Initiating Holders and non-Initiating Holders) request to be registered. (b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their demand pursuant to this Section 2.1 and the Company shall include such information in the notice referred to in Section 2.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon participation in such underwriting. The underwriter or underwriters for such offering shall be a nationally recognized underwriter or underwriters selected by the Holders owning a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering and reasonably acceptable to the Company and such underwriter or underwriters shall enter into a reasonable and customary underwriting agreement with the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all participating Holders, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting and registration shall be allocated pro rata among the participating Holders in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless and until all other securities to be sold by the Company and any Persons that are not Holders are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration.

Demand Registration. (a) On any date after March 15, 2001, the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the "Initiating Rights Holders") may request in writing registration under the Act (a "Demand Registration"). The Demand Registration request shall specify the amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold, the intended method of disposition thereof and the jurisdictions in which registration is desired. Upon the receipt of the Demand Registration request, the Company promptly shall take such steps as are necessary or appropriate to prepare for the registration of the Registrable Securities to be registered. Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such request, the Company shall give written notice thereof to all other Rights Holders and include in such registration all Registrable Securities held by a Rights Holder from whom the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein at least ten (10) days prior to the filing of the registration statement. Each such request will also specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered, the intended method of disposition thereof and the jurisdictions in which registration is desired. (b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to become effective not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after it receives a request under this Section 10.2. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall not count as the one Demand Registration to which the Rights Holders are entitled to thereunder unless such registration statement is declared effective and remains effective for at least ninety (90) days. (c) If Rights Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered by the Initiating Rights Holders so elect, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering.
