Change in Control Clause Overview

A change-in-control clause defines what happens to the agreement if one party is acquired, merges, or otherwise experiences a change in who owns or controls it, for example, giving the other party a right to terminate or renegotiate.

Parties add this because a contract negotiated with one company's leadership, strategy, or ownership structure may no longer make sense if that company is acquired by a competitor or changes direction entirely.

Check how "change in control" is defined (a percentage-of-ownership threshold is common), whether it triggers automatic rights or just a notice obligation, and whether it applies to both parties equally or only protects one side.

VERITONE, INC.Registration Statement (Form S-1)2017-11-15DEServices-Computer Processing & Data Preparation
In the event we experience a change in control, each outstanding award may be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (ii) canceled and substituted with an award granted by the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (iii) otherwise continued in effect pursuant to the terms of the change in control transaction or (iv) replaced with a cash incentive program that preserves the intrinsic value of the award and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that value in accordance with the same vesting schedule in effect for that award. In the absence of such assumption, continuation or replacement of the award, the award will automatically vest in full immediately prior to the change in control. The plan administrator will have discretion to grant one or more awards which will vest upon a change in control or in the event the individual's service with us or the successor entity terminates within a designated period following a change in control transaction.

CHEMICAL & MINING CO OF CHILE INCAnnual Report (Form 20-F)
The Company By-laws provide that no shareholder may hold more than 32% of the Company's shares, unless the By-laws are modified at an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting. Moreover, on December 12, 2000, the Chilean Government published the Ley de Oferta Pública de Acciones ('Public Share Offering Law') or (OPA law) that seeks to protect the interests of minority shareholders of open stock corporations in transactions involving a change in control, by requiring that the potential new controller purchase the shares owned by the remaining shareholders either in total or pro rata. The law applies to those transactions in which the controlling party would receive a material premium price compared with the price that would be received by the minority shareholders.

Foire aux questions

Qu'est-ce que la clause de Change in Control ?
A contractual provision addressing the effects on the agreement when there is a change in ownership, management, or control of a party.
Quand un contrat inclurait-il la clause de Change in Control ?
En général, les parties ajoutent une clause comme celle-ci lorsque la question sous-jacente est suffisamment importante pour qu'elles souhaitent que l'accord lui-même énonce une position claire et négociée, plutôt que de la laisser à l'interprétation, à la coutume de l'industrie ou à toute autre règle par défaut qui s'appliquerait autrement. La spécificité de la formulation reflète généralement l'importance de ce point lors de la négociation.
À quoi dois-je faire attention lors de l'examen de la clause de Change in Control ?
La formulation de ce type de clause varie beaucoup d'un contrat à l'autre ; la portée, les conditions de déclenchement, les exceptions et les termes définis connexes sont souvent lourdement négociés. Lorsque vous en examinez une, comparez-la à vos propres priorités plutôt que de supposer qu'une version standard ou « du marché » s'applique, et vérifiez comment elle interagit avec les autres clauses du même accord.
Cette clause est-elle légalement requise, et puis-je simplement copier un exemple dans mon contrat ?
La nécessité d'une clause comme celle-ci, et la manière exacte dont elle doit être formulée, dépendent du contrat, de l'industrie et des lois applicables à cet accord spécifique. Les exemples sur cette page sont fournis à des fins d'éducation générale et de référence, et non de conseils juridiques. Par conséquent, pour un contrat que vous avez l'intention de signer, faites examiner la formulation spécifique par un avocat qualifié.
