Notification of Acquisition Proposals From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify the Offeror, at first orally and then in writing, of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) (a) constituting, relating to, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (b) for discussions or negotiations relating to, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or (c) for non-public information relating to the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Mineral Right or Property, for access to properties, books and records of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or for a list of Shareholders, in each case, of which the Company or its Representatives is or becomes aware. Such notice shall include a description of the terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person making, any proposal, inquiry, offer or request, (including any amendment thereto) and all written communications with such person, and shall include copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment to any of the foregoing). The Company shall also provide such other details of the proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment to the foregoing) as the Offeror may request, acting reasonably. The Company shall keep the Offeror promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request, or any amendment to the foregoing, and will provide to the Offeror promptly all written communications with such person and will respond promptly to all inquiries by the Offeror with respect thereto.
Acquisition Proposal “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any offer or proposal (other than an offer or proposal made or submitted by Parent) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction.
Acquisition Proposals Except as contemplated hereby, the Company shall not (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors and employees and any investment banker, attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by it not to) initiate, solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, or knowingly take any action to facilitate, the making of, or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, any proposal or offer to acquire all or any significant part of the business and properties or capital stock of the Company, whether by merger, purchase of assets, tender offer or otherwise (an "Acquisition Proposal"), or provide any non-public information concerning the Company to any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. In the event the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal, it shall, subject to any confidentiality obligations imposed upon the Company in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) inform Parent as to the receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prohibit the Company from (a) furnishing information to, participating in discussions and negotiations directly or through its representatives or entering into an agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal with, any third party (including parties with whom the Company or its representatives have had discussions on any basis on or prior to the date hereof) who makes an unsolicited proposal or offer to the Company or makes an unsolicited request for non-public information about the Company (pursuant to appropriate confidentiality agreements), which proposal, offer or request did not result from a breach of the first sentence of this Section 5.7, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after receiving advice from its financial advisors and independent legal counsel at a meeting of the Company Board, that such action is required for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, (b) taking and disclosing to its stockholders any position, and making related filings with the SEC, as required by Rules l4e-2 and 14d-9 under the Exchange Act with respect to any tender offer or (c) taking any action and making any disclosure which the Company Board determines, after receiving advice from its financial advisors and independent legal counsel at a meeting of the Company Board, is required to be taken or made under applicable law (including, without limitation, laws relating to the fiduciary duties of directors), provided that at least 48 hours prior to the entry into or announcement of an intention to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall have provided written notice to Parent advising Parent of its intention to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and specifying the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal.
Notification of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals (i) As promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours) after the first officer or director of the Company becomes aware of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry which the Board reasonably believes would lead to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide to Parent oral and written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry. The Company shall provide to Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours thereafter) oral and written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent informed in all material respects of the status and details (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and shall promptly provide to Parent a copy of all written materials subsequently provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished).
Notice of Material Actions / Change in Control The Sub-Adviser will keep the Trust and the Adviser informed of developments relating to its duties as subadviser of which the Sub-Adviser has, or should have, knowledge that would materially affect the Fund. The Sub-Adviser will promptly notify the Adviser in writing of the occurrence of any of the following events (i) it is served or otherwise receives notice of, or is threatened with, any material action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, governmental, administrative or self-regulatory agency, or public board or body, involving the affairs of the Fund and (ii) any change in the partners of the Sub-Adviser or in the actual control or management of the Sub-Adviser or change in the portfolio manager(s) primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Allocated Portion.
Superior Proposals Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Company’s receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may, directly or indirectly through one or more of their Representatives, (i) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, (ii) furnish any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or (iii) afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in the case of clause (ii) and clause (iii), pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to any Person or such Person’s Representatives that has made or delivered to the Company an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement, contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and otherwise facilitate such Acquisition Proposal or assist such Person (and such Person’s Representatives and financing sources) with such Acquisition Proposal if requested by such Person, in each case with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 5.3(a) or this Section 5.3(b) (other than a de minimis breach), the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Subject to applicable Law and any applicable “clean team” or similar arrangement, the Company shall provide to Parent any non-public information or data that is provided to any Person given such access that was not previously made available to Parent substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person.
Shareholder Action by Written Consent without a Meeting Any action which may be taken at any meeting of Shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the holders of Shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all Shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with the secretary of the Trust and shall be maintained in the Trust’s records. Any Shareholder giving a written consent or the Shareholder’s proxy holders or a transferee of the Shares or a personal representative of the Shareholder or its respective proxy-holder may revoke the consent by a writing received by the secretary of the Trust before written consents of the number of Shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary. If the consents of all Shareholders entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing and if the unanimous written consent of all such Shareholders shall not have been received, the secretary shall give prompt notice of the action taken without a meeting to such Shareholders. This notice shall be given in the manner specified in the By-Laws.
Actions Not Requiring Proper Instructions Unless otherwise instructed by the Trust, the Custodian shall with respect to all Securities held for the Fund:
