Tag-Along Rights

Definition

A protection that lets minority shareholders join a sale on the same terms when a major shareholder sells their shares.

Why it matters

Tag-along rights protect smaller shareholders, including founders, from being left behind when bigger owners cash out.

Example

When a majority investor sells, a founder uses her tag-along rights to sell some shares on the same terms.
