Shareholder Approval Clause Samples
The Shareholder Approval clause requires that certain actions or decisions by a company receive formal consent from its shareholders before proceeding. Typically, this applies to significant matters such as mergers, acquisitions, amendments to corporate bylaws, or the issuance of new shares, where a vote is held and a specified majority must agree. By mandating shareholder involvement in key decisions, this clause ensures that major changes reflect the collective interests of the owners and helps prevent unilateral actions by management that could adversely affect shareholders.

Shareholder Approval. This Agreement and the Merger shall have been approved and adopted by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company.
Shareholder Approval. (a) The Board of Directors of Company has resolved to recommend to Company’s shareholders that they approve this Agreement and will submit to its shareholders this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by its shareholders in order to carry out the intentions of this Agreement. Company shall duly take, in accordance with applicable law and the Company Certificate and Company Bylaws, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC, for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”). The Board of Directors of Company will use all reasonable best efforts to obtain from its shareholders the Company Shareholder Approval. However, if the Board of Directors of Company, after consultation with (and taking account of the advice of) counsel, determines in good faith that, because of the receipt by Company of a Company Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of Company concludes in good faith constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, it would be more likely than not to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to continue to recommend this Agreement, then in submitting this Agreement to Company’s shareholders, the Board of Directors of Company may submit this Agreement to its shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Board of Directors of Company may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to its shareholders in the Company Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by law; provided that Company may not take any actions under this sentence until after giving Purchaser at least three business days’ notice. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve Company of its obligation to submit this Agreement to its shareholders for a vote. Company shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any Company Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger.
