Put Rights Clause Samples
A Put Rights clause grants one party, typically an investor or minority shareholder, the contractual right to require another party, such as the company or majority shareholders, to purchase their shares at a predetermined price or according to a specified formula. This right is often triggered by certain events, such as the passage of time, failure to achieve agreed milestones, or a change in control. By providing a clear exit mechanism, the clause protects the holder from being locked into an investment indefinitely and helps manage risk by ensuring liquidity under defined circumstances.
