What are piggyback registration rights?
- Financing
- Preferred Stock
Piggyback registration rights give investors the right to register shares of common stock in a public offering when the company or other investors initiate the process, thus “piggybacking” on their registration. For example, if the company is going public, these rights give investors the right to include and sell a portion of their shares in the offering as well. Piggyback registration rights are a typical—and usually a non-controversial—part of a preferred stock financing term sheet.
