Description

This sample form, a detailed Stockholders' Rights Plan document, is a model for use in corporate matters. The language is easily adapted to fit your specific circumstances. Available in several standard formats. The Colorado Stockholders' Rights Plan of Data scope Corp., also commonly known as a "poison pill," is a defensive mechanism implemented by the company to protect itself from unwanted takeover attempts and transactions that may not be in the best interest of its shareholders. Under this plan, Data scope Corp. issues rights to its existing shareholders, allowing them to purchase additional shares at a discounted price if a potential acquirer acquires a certain threshold of Data scope Corp.'s outstanding shares. These rights, known as "poison pills," are triggered when an individual or entity acquires a specific percentage of Data scope Corp.'s shares, typically between 10% and 20%. By implementing the Colorado Stockholders' Rights Plan, Data scope Corp. aims to deter hostile takeovers or any attempt that aims to gain control of the company without offering a fair and just price to the shareholders. Since the acquisition of a substantial portion of the company's shares would activate the poison pill, the potential acquirer would face significant dilution of their ownership stake. This significantly increases the cost of acquiring a controlling interest in Data scope Corp. In addition to these general provisions, there may be variations or different types of Stockholders' Rights Plans available within Colorado law. For example, there could be a "Modified Dutch Auction" provision within the plan, which allows shareholders to purchase additional shares at a discounted price if triggered. Other variations may include provisions that restrict the transferability of the rights or allow the board of directors of Data scope Corp. to redeem the rights under certain conditions. Overall, the Colorado Stockholders' Rights Plan of Data scope Corp. serves as a protective measure, empowering the board of directors to safeguard the interests of the shareholders and preserve the long-term value of the company. It acts as a deterrent against unsolicited takeover attempts and ensures that shareholders have a fair chance to evaluate and approve any potential change in control or transaction affecting their investment.
