SEPARATION PUT RIGHT Clause Samples
The Separation Put Right clause grants a party the option to sell its shares or interests back to another party, typically upon the occurrence of a separation event such as a demerger, spin-off, or other significant corporate restructuring. In practice, this clause outlines the specific conditions under which the put right can be exercised, the method for determining the sale price, and the timeline for completing the transaction.
