Piggy Back Registration Clause Samples

A Piggy-Back Registration clause allows certain shareholders, typically minority or non-controlling investors, to include their shares in a company's public offering when the company or another shareholder initiates a registration of shares for sale. In practice, if the company files to register shares with the SEC for a public offering, shareholders with piggy-back rights can request that their shares be included in that registration, subject to any limitations or priorities set by the company or underwriters. This clause ensures that these shareholders have an opportunity to sell their shares alongside the primary offering, providing liquidity and protecting their interests by not being left out of significant sale events.

Piggy Back Registration. Subject to Section 2.1 hereof, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an underwritten equity offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its respective securityholders of any class of security (other than (i) any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act relating to an offering of Common Stock for its own account as a result of the exercise of the exchange rights set forth in Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement, (ii) any registration statement filed in connection with a demand registration other than a Demand Registration under this Agreement or (iii) a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission) or filed in connection with an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company's existing securityholders), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein.
Piggy Back Registration. (a) If the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, authorize a registration of its Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Company shall furnish the Holder with at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and the Holder shall have the option to include the Shares to be issued to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant in such registration statement. The Holder shall exercise the "piggy-back registration rights" granted pursuant to this Section 7 by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days of the receipt of the written notice from the Company described above. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Company's obligations under this Section 7 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) The obligations of the Company set forth under this Section 7 shall not arise upon the filing of a registration statement that covers any of the following: (A) securities proposed to be issued in exchange for assets or securities of another corporation; (B) debt securities not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock; (C) securities to be issued pursuant to a transaction registered on Form S-4 (or any registration form promulgated by the SEC in substitution of that form); or (D) a stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase, or other employee benefit or compensation plan or securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan. (ii) If the Company files a registration statement in connection with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter of the proposed offering to grant any request by the Holder that Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant be included in the proposed public offering on terms and conditions that are customary under industry practice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter of the public offering of the Common Stock gives written notice to the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter, marketing factors require a limitation of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be underwritten, then the number of Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall be obligated to include in the registration statement shall be reduced in accordance with the limitations imposed by the managing underwriter. (iii) The Holder must...
Piggy Back Registration. (a) If at any time on or after the date hereof, the Company proposes to register Common Shares under the Securities Act (other than (i) a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes, or (ii) a registration statement with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or any successor rule promulgated for similar purposes), whether or not for sale for its own account (including, without limitation, any registration effected pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof), in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, each Holder shall have the right to include in such registration all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder (the “Piggyback Registration Right”). At such time, the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to register Common Shares. (b) Any Holder wishing to exercise its Piggyback Registration Right shall deliver to the Company a written notice within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. Such Holder’s written notice shall specify the number of Common Shares intended to be disposed of by such Holder, which might be all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. The Company will, subject to Sections 3.5(c) and (f) below, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that (x) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Se...
Piggy Back Registration. If at any time after the date hereof the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its respective security holders other than a Registration Statement on Form 10, S-4 or Form S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission) or on any other form inappropriate for an underwritten public offering or related solely to securities to be issued in a merger, acquisition of the stock or assets of another entity or in a similar transaction, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 30 days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (which request shall specify the number of shares and the type of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and shall also state the firm intent of the Holder to offer Registrable Securities for sale) (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). With respect to the foregoing registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or any other security holder included therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw.
Piggy Back Registration. (a) If, at any time and during the time after the Closing Date, the Shelf Registration Statement is not effective, and the Company proposes to file on its behalf and/or on behalf of any of its security holders (the “demanding security holders”) a registration statement under the Securities Act on any form (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form for securities to be offered in a transaction of the type referred to in Rule 145 under the Securities Act or in connection with an exchange offer, or to employees of Company pursuant to any employee benefit plan, respectively) for the general registration of securities, it will give written notice to the Investor at least 30 days before the initial filing with the SEC of such registration statement, which notice shall set forth the proposed offering price and the intended method of disposition of the securities proposed to be registered by Company. The notice shall offer to include in such filing (and any qualification under blue sky or other state securities laws or other compliance) the aggregate number of shares of Registrable Securities as the Investor may request. If the Investor desires to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it, the Investor shall, within twenty (20) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. If the Investor decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Investor shall nevertheless continue to have the right under this Section 4 to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. (b) If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 4 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Investor. In such event, the right of the Investor to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 4 shall be conditioned upon the Investor’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of its Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company (which underwriter or under...
Piggy Back Registration. In addition to the demand right of registration, the Holders of the Purchase Options shall have the right for a period of seven years commencing on the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, to include the Registrable Securities as part of any other registration or registrations of securities filed by the Company (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Act or pursuant to Form S-8). The Company shall bear all fees and expenses in connection with registering the Registrable Securities, including the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities, but the Holders shall pay any underwriting commissions related to the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than fifteen days written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each applicable registration statement filed by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been registered and sold. The holders of the Registrable Securities may exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided for herein by giving written notice, within ten days of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its intention to file a registration statement. The Company shall cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the above “piggyback” rights to remain effective for at least nine months from the date that the Holders of the Registrable Securities are first given the opportunity to sell all of such securities. The Company agrees, at its sole expenses, to use its reasonable best efforts to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such states as are reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register the Registrable Securities in a state in which such registration would cause the Company to be obligated to qualify to do business generally in such state, or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction.
Piggy Back Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Act or pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), collectively referred to as the “Securities Acts,” whether or not for sale for its own account, it will each such time give prompt written notice to the Optionee of its intention to do so (the “Registration Notice”). Upon the written request of the Optionee, made within fifteen (15) business days after the receipt of the Registration Notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Acts of such amount of the Option Shares as the Optionee requests, by inclusion of such Option Shares in the registration statement that relates to the securities which the Company proposes to register, provided that if, at any time after giving the Registration Notice and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Optionee (the “Refusal Notice”) and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register the Option Shares in connection with such terminated registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses (as defined herein) in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering the Option Shares, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.
Piggy Back Registration. If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower proposes to file a registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to an underwritten offering by the Borrower for its own account or for the account of others of any class of security (other than (a) a registration statement on Forms S-4 or S-8, (b) a registration statement filed in connection with an exchange offer or (c) a registration statement filed as a result of Section 2 hereof), then the Borrower shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to the Creditor at least 30 days prior to the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer the Creditor the opportunity to register such shares of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request. The Borrower shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the holders of Registrable Securities requested in writing within fifteen (15) days after the notice given by the Borrower to be included in the registration for such offering to include such securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Borrower included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering delivers an opinion to the Creditor that the total amount of securities which it or the Borrower or any other persons or entities intend to include in such offering is sufficiently large to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for the accounts of the Creditor shall be reduced pro rata with respect to each holder to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities (other than those exercising demand registration rights) as well as the Borrower, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of securities intended to be offered by the Creditor than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities with respect to the amount of securities they intended to offer.
Piggy Back Registration. If the Company files a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account, or an offering for the account of any stockholder of the Company or any group of such stockholders (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms or any other forms not available for registering capital stock for sale to the public and other than a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), then the Company shall give written notice of such filing to each holder of Registrable Securities not later than five (5) business days after the filing date thereof, and such notice shall describe in detail the proposed registration and distribution (including whether the offering will be underwritten and those jurisdictions where registration under the securities or blue sky laws is intended) and offer such holder the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities as such holder may request in writing within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts, within twenty (20) days of the notice from the holder provided for in the preceding sentence, to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering (the “Company Underwriter”) to permit the holders of Registrable Securities who have requested to participate in the registration for such offering to include such Registrable Securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities of the Company included therein, including execution of an underwriting agreement in customary form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company Underwriter delivers a written opinion to the holders of Registrable Securities that marketing considerations require a limitation on the number of securities to be sold, the Company shall include in such registration (except in connection with a Demand Registration, which priority shall be governed by Section 3) for the account of holders of Registrable Securities only that number of Registrable Securities which, in the good faith opinion of the Company Underwriter, can be sold, allocated pro rata, based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by each such holder.
Piggy Back Registration. (i) If at any time after the date hereof, except in connection with the registration statement currently filed for the secondary offering with May ▇▇▇▇▇ Group, Inc. (SEC File No. 33389419), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, either a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or an amendment to an existing Registration Statement for the sale of shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company shall, as part of such Registration Statement, register for resale by the Investor a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the Initial Investors to sell the Registrable Securities (or such lesser number as may be required by the SEC, but in no event less than the number of shares equal to the sum of (A) two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares into which the Preferred Stock and all dividends thereon through the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date would be convertible at the time of filing of such Registration Statement (assuming for such purposes that all shares of Preferred Stock, had been eligible to be converted, and had been converted, into Conversion Shares in accordance with their terms, whether or not such accrual of dividends, eligibility or conversion had in fact occurred as of such date) and (B) the number of shares which would be issued upon exercise of all of the Warrants at the time of filing of the Registration Statement (assuming for such purposes that all Warrants, including all Warrants had been eligible to be exercised and had been exercised in accordance with their terms, whether or not such eligibility or exercise had in fact occurred as of such date). The Registration Statement shall state that, in accordance with Rule 416 and 457 under the Securities Act, it also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, or stock dividends. (ii) If at any time (an "Increased Registered Shares Date"), the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Registrable Shares, issued or to be issued as contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, exceeds the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then registered, then, (A) if permitted by SEC regulations or practice, the Company shall, within ten (10) business days after the Increased Registered Shares Date, amend the Registration Statement filed by the Company pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section ...
