Also known as change of control. A provision in an agreement giving a party certain rights (such as consent, payment or termination) in connection with a change in ownership or management of the other party to the agreement. Not all change of control provisions are triggered by the same action. For example, a change of control may be triggered by a sale of more than 50% of a party's stock, a sale of substantially all the assets of a party or a change in most of the board members of a party. For a standard change of control clause, see Standard Clause, Loan Agreement: Change of Control Event of Default.
