Optional Conversion of Class B Common Stock Sample Clauses
The "Optional Conversion of Class B Common Stock" clause allows holders of Class B shares to voluntarily convert their shares into another class, typically Class A common stock, at their discretion. This conversion is usually executed at a predetermined ratio and may require the shareholder to notify the company or follow a specific process to effect the conversion. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility to Class B shareholders, enabling them to access different rights or liquidity options associated with the other class of stock, and to facilitate transitions in ownership structure as needed.
