Qualifying Shareholders Clause Samples

The 'Qualifying Shareholders' clause defines which shareholders are eligible for certain rights, benefits, or actions under an agreement or company policy. Typically, this clause sets out specific criteria—such as holding a minimum number of shares, being registered by a certain date, or meeting residency requirements—that shareholders must meet to be considered 'qualifying.' For example, only qualifying shareholders may be entitled to receive dividends, vote at meetings, or participate in rights issues. The core function of this clause is to clearly delineate which shareholders are included in particular entitlements or obligations, thereby ensuring fairness and administrative clarity.
Qualifying Shareholders. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a Shareholder at the close of business on the Record Date and not be a Non-Qualifying Shareholder. In order to be registered as Shareholder at the close of business on the Record Date, all transfers of the Consolidated Shares (together with the relevant share certificate(s) and/or instrument(s) of transfer) must be lodged with the Registrar at Room ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇/▇., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, by 4: 30 p.m. on Monday, 2 September 2024. It is expected that the last day of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on a cum-rights basis is Thursday, 29 August 2024, and the Consolidated Shares will be dealt with on an ex-rights basis from Friday, 30 August 2024. Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective and the registration of the Prospectus Documents in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, the Company will despatch the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders on the Prospectus Posting Date and will despatch the Prospectus only (without the PAL) to the Non-Qualifying Shareholder for their information only. Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled and Non-Qualifying Shareholders should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted. Rights of Overseas Shareholders (if any) The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Overseas Shareholders may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue as explained below. In compliance with Rule 17.41(1) of the GEM Listing Rules, the Company will make enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to the Overseas Shareholders (if any). If, based on legal opinions, the Directors consider that it is necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place(s) or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that (those) place(s), the Rights Issue will not be extended to such Overseas Shareholders. The Company will despatch the Prospectus (without the PAL) to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for their information only on the Prospectus Posting Date. Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders to be sold in their nil-pai...

Related to Qualifying Shareholders

  • SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The common stock being offered by the selling shareholders are those previously issued to the selling shareholders, and those issuable to the selling shareholders, upon exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of common stock and warrants, see "Private Placement of Common Shares and Warrants" above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years. The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of ________, 2018, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling shareholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders. In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued to the selling shareholders in the __________________ and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus. Under the terms of the warrants, a selling shareholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed [4.99]% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution." The undersigned beneficial owner of common stock (the “Registrable Securities”) of TheMaven, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that the Company has filed or intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Registrable Securities, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to which this document is annexed. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement. Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting if this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.1.
