Demand Registration Clause Samples
The Demand Registration clause outlines the process by which shareholders can require a company to register their shares for public sale. Typically, this clause specifies the minimum number of shares needed to trigger the registration, the procedures for making a demand, and any limitations on the frequency or timing of such requests. Its core function is to provide shareholders with a mechanism to achieve liquidity by facilitating the public resale of their shares, thereby addressing the problem of restricted transferability in private companies.

Demand Registration. Subject to the restrictions of this Section 1.1, at any time after the earlier of thirty-six (36) months after the date of this Agreement or one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a Qualified IPO, Investors holding not less than twenty percent (20%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities shall have the right, by written notice to the Company, to request that the Company register the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act. The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice, give written notice of such request to all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of Section 1.1(b) below, use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within twenty (20) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company. Any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 1.1 is sometimes referred to herein as a “Demand Registration.”
(a) If the Holder(s) requesting the registration (“Initiating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 1.1 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.1(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. The managing underwriter or underwriters in such underwriting shall be selected by the Initiating Holders, subject to the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and prior written acceptance of such underwriter or underwriters by the Initiating Holders. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters so selected; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties except as they relate to such Holder’s ownership of Registrable Securities and authority ...
Demand Registration. (a) At any time beginning six months from the date of this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter, the Holder may make one written request for registration under the Securities Act, (a "Demand Registration") of all or part of Holder's Registrable Securities (but such part, together with the number of securities requested by other Approved Investors, to be included in such Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2, shall have an estimated market value at the time of such request (based upon the then market price of a share of Common Stock of the Company) of at least $250,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file any registration statement on behalf of the Holder within twelve months after the effective date of any earlier registration statement so long as the Holder was given a notice offering it the opportunity to sell Registrable Securities under the earlier registration statement and the Holder did not request that its Registrable Securities be included; provided, however, that if Holder requested that its Registrable Securities be included in the earlier registration statement but not all were so included through no fault of the Investor, the Investor may, but shall not be obligated to, require the Company to file another registration statement pursuant to a Demand Registration. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall give written notice (the "Notice") of such request to all other Approved Investors and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities that the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the Notice is given (the "Requested Securities"). Thereafter, the Company may elect to include in such registration additional shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company. All requests made pursuant to this Section 2 shall specify the aggregate number of Registrable Securities to be registered.
(b) A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration under this Section 2 until it has become effective.
(c) The Holder making the Demand Registration may elect whether the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering or otherwise; provided, however, that such Holder may not elect that such offering be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to rule 415 under the Securities Act.
