Upon Liquidation Clause Samples
The 'Upon Liquidation' clause defines the rights and procedures that apply when a company undergoes liquidation, meaning its assets are being sold off to pay creditors and distribute any remaining value to stakeholders. Typically, this clause outlines the order in which creditors, preferred shareholders, and common shareholders receive payments, and may specify any preferences or priorities among different classes of stakeholders. Its core practical function is to ensure a clear and fair process for distributing a company's assets in the event of liquidation, thereby reducing disputes and uncertainty among parties with financial interests in the company.

Upon occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the Record Holders will be entitled to be paid, before any payment or other Distribution is made upon any other equity securities of the Company, an amount in cash equal to the Preference Amount plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon up to the date of occurrence of the Liquidation Event. Depending on the date of the of the Liquidation Event, after the Preference Amount plus accrued dividends have been paid on all outstanding Shares any remaining funds and assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the Shareholders will be distributed ratable among the Shareholders in accordance with their Common Stock holdings on an as converted basis. This means the Holders will participate with the holders of the Common Stock in the balance of the Distribution in an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock the Holders would have received if the Shares had converted immediately prior to the Liquidation Event. For example, if the Shares outstanding at the time of the Liquidation Event converted into 10% of the Company, then the Holders of such Shares would get their Preference Amount and any accrued and unpaid dividends and then receive 10% of the amount to be distributed to the Common Stock Shareholders thereafter. This right to share on a "as converted" basis shall be limited to each Record Holder receiving twenty (20) times the amount they paid to purchase their Shares until December 31, 2006, but thereafter this right to participate is unlimited. The Holders, in their sole option, always have the right to convert their Shares and participate in the proceeds from the Liquidation Event as Common Stock. Any dispute regarding the Distribution proceeds between the Holders and the Company shall be determined by an appraisal by a mutually agreed upon appraiser. The Company and the Holders shall each pay one-half of the cost of this appraisal.
