Exchange Ratio Adjustment Clause Samples
The Exchange Ratio Adjustment clause defines how the ratio at which shares or other securities are exchanged in a merger or acquisition can be modified under certain circumstances. Typically, this clause outlines specific events—such as stock splits, dividends, or changes in capital structure—that would trigger a recalculation of the exchange ratio to ensure fairness between the parties. Its core practical function is to maintain the intended value of the transaction for both sides, preventing one party from being disadvantaged by unforeseen changes in the value or number of shares involved.

For purposes of determining the outstanding stock of Parent for purposes of the prior sentence, such stock shall include any (A) Parent Common Stock, (B) any other instruments that are treated as stock for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and (C) stock that may be issued after the consummation of the First Merger, pursuant to the exercise or settlement of an option or other contract acquired or entered into before the First Merger that may be regarded as having been acquired or entered into before the First Merger as part of a “plan” or “series of related transactions” of which the Distribution is a part within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the safe harbors under Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d)).

If any such increase is required, then the amount of Seattle Payment distributed pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall be decreased by an amount equal to the product of $26.32 multiplied by the number of additional shares of Miami Common Stock represented by ADSs required to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Ratio adjustment set forth in the immediately preceding sentence; provided, however, that this sentence shall apply only if Houston acted in a way that caused the failure to meet the Threshold Percentage in the absence of the increase in ADSs issued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
