Third-Party Matching Clause Samples

The Third-Party Matching clause establishes the right or obligation for one party to match an offer or proposal made by a third party to the other party in a contract. In practice, if a third party presents an offer—such as to purchase an asset or enter into a business arrangement—the party with matching rights must be notified and given the opportunity to match the terms of that offer within a specified timeframe. This clause is commonly used in contexts like shareholder agreements or asset sales to give existing stakeholders a chance to retain their interests or prevent unwanted third-party involvement. Its core function is to protect the interests of the party with matching rights by allowing them to preempt third-party deals that could affect their position.
