Move Electronically Signing Tag-Along Agreement For Free

The phrase 'Tag Along' means to follow along after someone; to go along with someone. Example of Use: ?The family dog tagged along after the children wherever they went.?

Tag-along or co-sale rights are essentially the opposite of drag-along rights. Whereas tag-along rights give minority shareholders negotiating rights in the event of a sale, drag-along rights force the minority shareholders to accept whatever deal is negotiated by majority shareholders.

Examples of Using Tag Along Rights Let us assume that Investor A holds 75 percent of the shares, while Investor B holds 25 percent. If Investor A sells his or her shares, the remaining 25 percent of the shares might lose value, and Investor B will lose money.

For example, a majority shareholder who holds 75% of the shares in the company who agrees to sell their shares in a share sale to a potential buyer, must offer the same price for the shares to the minority shareholders if they want to 'drag them along'.

Tag-along or co-sale rights are essentially the opposite of drag-along rights. Whereas tag-along rights give minority shareholders negotiating rights in the event of a sale, drag-along rights force the minority shareholders to accept whatever deal is negotiated by majority shareholders.

along right is a provision or clause in an agreement that enables a majority shareholder to force a minority shareholder to join in the sale of a company. The majority owner doing the dragging must give the minority shareholder the same price, terms, and conditions as any other seller.

For example, if a third party offers to buy out a company and the majority shareholder wish to accept the deal, a drag-along right will ensure that minority shareholders accept the buy-out. Basically the minority shareholders are dragged into accepting the deal on the terms negotiated by the majority shareholder.
