Key Takeaways
- A co-sale right (also called a tag-along right) lets minority shareholders sell their shares alongside a majority shareholder under the same terms and conditions.
- These rights protect small investors from being left behind in a sale and ensure fair treatment when major shareholders sell their shares.
- co-sale provisions are often paired with a right of first refusal (ROFR) clause, which gives current shareholders or the company a chance to buy shares before they are offered to an outside buyer.
- Typical co-sale agreements outline triggers, notice procedures, proportionate sale participation, and exceptions (such as transfers to family or affiliates).
