BIP Units Record Date Clause Samples

The BIP Units Record Date clause establishes the specific date on which holders of BIP Units are determined for the purposes of rights, distributions, or voting entitlements. In practice, this means that only those who are registered as holders of BIP Units on the record date will be eligible to receive dividends, participate in votes, or benefit from other unit-holder rights associated with that date. This clause ensures clarity and fairness by providing a clear cutoff point for determining entitlements, thereby preventing disputes over who is eligible for benefits or participation at a given time.
BIP Units Record Date. Each former Exchanging Class A Shareholder who receives the BIP Units Amount upon the exercise of the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to any Subject Class A Share pursuant to this Agreement shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the owner of the BIP Units representing the BIP Units Amount for which the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to such Subject Class A Share is exercisable as of the date upon which such Class A Shareholder’s Subject Class A Share is duly surrendered in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to such Class A Shareholder’s surrender of such Subject Class A Share in accordance with this Agreement, the Class A Shareholder shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of such BIP Units for which the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to such Subject Class A Share shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of BIP with respect to such BIP Units. For the avoidance of doubt, any Class A Shareholder who receives the Cash Amount in satisfaction of the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to any Class A Share pursuant to this Agreement shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of BIP Units at any time with respect to the BIP Units for which the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to such Subject Class A Share was exercisable prior to the receipt of such Cash Amount.
