Rights Clause Example from Business Contracts

Rights. 2.1 Form of Right. Each Right shall be issued in registered form only, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, a Co-Chairman of the Board, a Co-Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Executive Director of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Right shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such... person signed the Right before such Right is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance. 2.2 Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Rights Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Right shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exchanged for Ordinary Shares. 2.3 Registration. 2.3.1 Right Register. The Rights Agent shall maintain books (the "Right Register") for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Rights. Upon the initial issuance of the Rights, the Rights Agent shall issue and register the Rights in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Rights Agent by the Company. 2.3.2 Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Right, the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Right shall be registered upon the Right Register (the "Registered Holder") as the absolute owner of such Right and of each Right represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Right Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent), for the purpose of the exchange thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 2.4 Detachability of Rights. Each of the securities comprising the Units shall begin separate trading on the fifty-second (52nd) day following the date of the Prospectus or, if such fifty-second (52nd) day is not on a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday on which banks in New York City are generally open for normal business (a "Business Day"), then on the immediately succeeding Business Day following such date, or earlier (the "Detachment Date") with the consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. with the respect to such consent, but in no event shall the securities comprising the Units be separately traded until (A) the Company has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise by the underwriters of their right to purchase additional Units in the Offering (the "Over-Allotment Option"), if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised prior to the filing of such Form 8-K, and a second or amended Current Report on Form 8-K to provide updated financial information to reflect the exercise of the underwriters' Over-Allotment option, if the Over-Allotment option is exercised following the initial filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, and (B) the Company issues a press release and files with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing when such separate trading shall begin. Upon the Detachment Date, holders of Units will have the option to continue to hold Units or separate their Units into the component pieces. View More
