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.
