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. (a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.1, if the Company receives a request from the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the "Initiating Holders") that the Company register shares with an aggregate offering price of at least $5,000,000, then the Company shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all non-Initiating Holders. 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) At any time beginning six months from the date of this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter, the Holder may make one written request for registration under the Securities Act, (a "Demand Registration") of all or part of Holder's Registrable Securities (but such part, together with the number of securities requested by other Approved Investors, to be included in such Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2, shall have an estimated market value at the time of such request (based upon the then market price of a share of Common Stock of the Company) of at least $250,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file any registration statement on behalf of the Holder within twelve months after the effective date of any earlier registration statement so long as the Holder was given a notice offering it the opportunity to sell Registrable Securities under the earlier registration statement and the Holder did not request that its Registrable Securities be included; provided, however, that if Holder requested that its Registrable Securities be included in the earlier registration statement but not all were so included through no fault of the Investor, the Investor may, but shall not be obligated to, require the Company to file another registration statement pursuant to a Demand Registration. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall give written notice (the "Notice") of such request to all other Approved Investors and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities that the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the Notice is given (the "Requested Securities"). Thereafter, the Company may elect to include in such registration additional shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company.
