Drag-along right

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drag-Along Right is a legal concept in corporate law. The right assures that if majority shareholder sells his stake, minority holders are forced to join the deal. This right protects majority shareholders.^[1] Drag-along rights are fairly standard terms in a stock purchase agreement. Drag-along rights typically terminate upon an initial public offering.^[2]
