New York Assignment or Sale of Interest in Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a legal transaction that allows a member of an LLC to transfer their ownership rights and interest in the company to another party. This transaction typically involves the transfer of membership interest, profit distribution rights, and decision-making authority from the assigning member (assignor) to the acquiring member (assignee). In New York, there are two main types of Assignment or Sale of Interest transactions for LCS: 1. Assignment of Interest: This type of transaction involves the transfer of membership interest from one member to another without any change in the membership structure of the LLC. The assignor essentially sells or assigns a specific percentage or portion of their interest in the company to the assignee. For example, if a member owns a 50% interest in an LLC and decides to sell 25% of their interest to another party, an Assignment of Interest agreement can be executed. This allows the assignee to become a new member of the LLC and enjoy the rights and benefits associated with the assigned interest. 2. Sale of Interest: Unlike the Assignment of Interest, the Sale of Interest transaction involves complete or partial change in the membership structure of the LLC. In this case, the assignor is selling their entire membership interest in the LLC, resulting in the assignee effectively replacing the assignor as a member. For instance, if a member decides to exit the LLC completely and sell their entire membership interest to a new party, a Sale of Interest agreement is used. This type of transaction requires the consent and approval of the existing members, as it introduces a new member with different ownership and decision-making rights. Key considerations in a New York Assignment or Sale of Interest in LLC typically include: — Identification of the assignor (current member) and assignee (acquiring member). — Description of the LLC and its operating agreement. — Detailed transfer terms, including the percentage or portion of interest being assigned/sold. — Purchase price or consideration for the assigned/sold interest, if applicable. — Assignor's warranties and representations regarding the interest being transferred. — Approvals and consents required from other LLC members. — Indemnification obligations of the assignor and assignee. — Effective date and closing provisions of the transfer. It is crucial to consult with an attorney experienced in New York LLC law to ensure compliance with all legal requirements and to draft an assignment or sale agreement that protects the interests of all parties involved.
