Ever been part of a group trip where one person books the tickets — and everyone else has to follow along, even if they didn’t fully agree? That’s pretty much what Drag Along Rights do in the startup world. If a majority shareholder decides to sell the company, they can drag the minority shareholders along — forcing them to sell their shares too, usually to a new buyer during an acquisition. It protects the majority from being blocked by a few holdouts. But remember — it only works if it’s written into your Shareholders Agreement and Articles of Association. More such plain-English breakdowns coming up in this series. Follow for more! #StartupLaw #DragAlongRights #FoundersGuide #TermSheetTips
