Drag-along Right

A right that allows majority shareholders to force minority shareholders to accept an agreement. In a typical drag-along agreement, if a majority of shareholders agree to sell or liquidate a company then the remaining shareholders must consent and not raise objections.

Such a right is designed to block smaller investors from "holding out" on a deal in the hopes of raising share prices.
