Lock-Up Provisions Sample Clauses
Lock-up provisions are contractual clauses that restrict certain parties from selling or transferring their shares or interests for a specified period of time. Typically found in merger agreements or initial public offerings, these provisions prevent major shareholders, executives, or insiders from immediately selling their holdings, which could otherwise destabilize the market or undermine investor confidence. The core function of lock-up provisions is to maintain market stability and protect the value of the company’s shares during critical periods by preventing sudden large-scale sales.
