Piggyback Registration Clause Samples
A Piggyback Registration clause allows certain shareholders to include their shares in a company's public offering when the company itself registers shares for sale. In practice, this means that if the company files for a public offering, eligible shareholders—often investors with registration rights—can request that their shares be registered and sold alongside the company's shares. This clause ensures that these shareholders have an opportunity to sell their shares under the same terms as the company, providing liquidity and equal access to public markets, and preventing the company from excluding them from beneficial registration events.

Piggyback Registration. (i) If the Company proposes to register any Company Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-8 or S-4 relating to Shares or any other class of Company Securities issuable upon exercise of employee stock options or in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company or in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Company of another Person) other than in connection with a rights offering, whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall each such time give prompt notice (via facsimile or electronic transmission) at least 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration to each Stockholder, which notice shall set forth such Stockholder’s rights under this Section 2.02 and shall offer such Stockholder the opportunity to include in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities of the same class or series as those proposed to be registered as each such Stockholder may request (a “Piggyback Registration”), subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(h)(ii). Upon the request of any such Stockholder made within 10 Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Company regarding a Piggyback Registration (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Stockholder), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by all such Requesting Stockholders, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the plan of distribution intended by the Company for such registration statement; provided that (i) if such registration involves a Public Offering, all such Registering Stockholders requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 2.04(f)(i) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company and (ii) if, at any time after giving notice of its intention to register any Company Securities pursuant to this Section 2.02(h) 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 register such securities, the Company shall give notice to all Registering Stoc...
Piggyback Registration. If, at any time commencing one year from the effective date of the registration statement and expiring four (4) years thereafter, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") (other than in connection with a merger or pursuant to Form ▇-▇, ▇-▇ or other comparable registration statement) it will give written notice by registered mail, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such registration statement, to the Holders and to all other Holders of the Warrants and/or the Warrant Securities of its intention to do so. If the Holder or other Holders of the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities notify the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice of its or their desire to include any such securities in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford each of the Underwriter and such Holders of the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities the opportunity to have any such Warrant Securities registered under such registration statement. In the event any underwriter underwriting the sale of securities registered by such registration statement shall limit the number of securities includable in such registration by shareholders of the Company, the number of such securities shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of Warrants and the holders of other securities entitled to piggyback registration rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any such securities shall have been made) to elect not to file any such proposed registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date thereof.
Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public (except with respect to registration statements on Forms ▇-▇, ▇-▇ or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public), each such time it will give written notice at the applicable address of record to each holder of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of any of such holders of the Registrable Securities, given within twenty (20) days after receipt by such Person of such notice, the Company will, subject to the limits contained in this Section 4, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities of said requesting holders to be registered under the Securities Act and qualified for sale under any state blue sky law, all to the extent required to permit such sale or other disposition of said Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if the Company is advised in writing in good faith by any managing underwriter of the Company’s securities being offered in a public offering pursuant to such registration statement that the amount to be sold by persons other than the Company (collectively, “Selling Stockholders”) is greater than the amount which can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, the Company may reduce the amount offered for the accounts of Selling Stockholders (including such holders of shares of Registrable Securities) to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter; and provided further, that any shares to be excluded shall be determined in the following order of priority: (a) securities held by any Persons not having any such contractual, incidental registration rights, (b) securities held by any Persons having contractual, incidental registration rights pursuant to an agreement which is not this Agreement, and (c) the Registrable Securities sought to be included by the holders thereof as determined on a pro rata basis (based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by such holders).
Piggyback Registration. (a) Whenever the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company and the form of registration statement (a “Piggyback Registration Statement”) to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to the holder of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 5(b), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion from the holders of Registrable Securities within 5 days after the Company’s notice has been given to each such holder. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion.
(b) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a best efforts or underwritten offering, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to omit any or all of the Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration.

In the event that a Stockholder makes such written request, such Stockholder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter(s), if any, at any time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Piggyback Registration or the date of the launch of the shelf take-down.

No Piggyback Registration shall count as an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to which the Stockholders are entitled.

With respect to each inclusion of securities in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 9(a), the selling Holders shall pay the fees and disbursements of special counsel and accountants for the selling Holders, and underwriting discounts or commissions and transfer taxes applicable to the selling Holders’ shares, and the Company shall pay all other costs and expenses of the registration, including but not limited to all registration, filing and NASD fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company, all internal expenses, and legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with state securities laws of any jurisdictions in which the securities to be offered are to be registered or qualified.

In the event that any such Holder delivers to the Company, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such written notice to the Holder by the Company, a written request to include in such registration statement any Registrable Securities of the Holder, the Company shall include such Registrable Securities in such registration statement, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition by the prospective seller or sellers of the Registrable Securities to be so registered.
(b) If the registration of which the Company gives written notice pursuant to Section 5(a) is for a public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of its written notice. In such event the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting agree to enter into (together with the Company and the other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.

(b) Each holder of Registrable Securities shall have 30 days from the receipt of such notice to deliver to the Corporation a written request specifying the number of Registrable Shares such holder intends to sell and the holder’s intended method of disposition.
(c) In the event that the proposed registration by the Corporation is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of the Corporation, any request under Section 3.5(b) may specify that the Registrable Shares be included in the underwriting (i) on the same terms and conditions as the shares of Common Stock, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration, or (ii) on terms and conditions comparable to those normally applicable to offerings of common stock in reasonably similar circumstances in the event that no shares of Common Stock other than Registrable Shares are being sold through underwriters under such registration.
(d) Upon receipt of a written request pursuant to Section 3.5(b), the Corporation shall promptly use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Shares to be registered under the Securities Act, to the extent required to permit sale or disposition as set forth in the written request.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of any such proposed registration determines and advises in writing that the inclusion of all Registrable Shares proposed to be included in the underwritten public offering, together with any other issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock proposed to be included therein by holders other than the holders of Registrable Securities (such other shares hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Other Shares”) would interfere with the successful marketing of the Corporation’s securities, then the total number of such securities proposed to be included in such unde...
Piggyback Registration.

The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include such number of Registrable Securities held by any Holder in such Registration Statement as each Holder shall request in a Notice received by the Partnership within two Business Days of such Holder’s receipt of the notice from the Partnership. If the Registration Statement about which the Partnership gives notice under this Section 7.12(b) is for an Underwritten Offering, then any Holder’s ability to include its desired amount of Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement shall be conditioned on such Holder’s inclusion of all such Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering; provided that, in the event that the managing underwriter of such Underwritten Offering advises the Partnership and the Holder in writing that in its opinion the inclusion of all or some Registrable Securities would adversely and materially affect the timing or success of the Underwritten Offering, the amount of Registrable Securities that each Selling Holder requested be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be reduced on a Pro Rata basis to the aggregate amount that the managing underwriter deems will not have such material and adverse effect. In connection with any such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership and the Selling Holders involved shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form that is reasonably acceptable to the Partnership and take all reasonable actions as are requested by the managing underwriters to facilitate the Underwritten Offering and sale of Registrable Securities therein.
