ROFN Clause Samples

A Right of First Negotiation (ROFN) clause grants one party the exclusive opportunity to negotiate a deal or agreement before the other party can seek offers from third parties. In practice, this means that if the owner of an asset or business intends to sell or enter into a partnership, they must first approach the party holding the ROFN and attempt to reach mutually agreeable terms. Only if negotiations fail can the owner then consider offers from others. The core function of this clause is to give the holder a priority position in negotiations, helping them secure favorable opportunities and reducing the risk of missing out on valuable deals.
