💴 Voting undertaking
A voting undertaking is a formal, written agreement between two companies that sets out the terms under which they will vote their shares in the other company. The undertaking may cover all votes or only specific votes, and may be revocable or irrevocable.

Binding Irrevocable Undertaking Agreement (Rights Issue, or Secondary Issue)
In a rights issue, the company offers its existing shareholders the opportunity to purchase additional shares at a discounted price. This legal template would provide a framework for formalizing the commitments made between the company and the shareholders who have agreed to purchase the additional shares. It would outline the obligations of the company to issue the shares as agreed upon, while specifying the shareholders' commitment to purchase the allotted shares.
Alternatively, in a secondary issue, the company seeks to issue new shares to outside investors. This template would lay down the provisions for negotiating and finalizing such agreements with external shareholders or investors, incorporating their commitments to purchase the newly issued shares and the company's obligation to issue the shares accordingly.
The template could include clauses related to the quantity and price of shares, the time frame for exercising the rights or completing the purchase, payment terms, shareholder obligations, consequences of non-compliance, representations and warranties, termination provisions, dispute resolution mechanisms, and any other pertinent conditions as per the specific situation and applicable UK laws.
Overall, this legal template offers a comprehensive framework, specifically under UK law, for formalizing the commitments and obligations of both the company and the shareholders or investors involved in a rights issue or secondary issue scenario.
