The right of a security holder to force another security holder to sell his or her stock (usually in connection with a sale of the company), provided that the person being dragged receives the same price, terms, and conditions for the security being sold as the person exercising the drag along rights. Drag along rights facilitate the ability to sell 100 percent of a company's securities to a buyer, thereby eliminating any minority investors. Many buyers are only willing to buy a company that the buyer can completely own. Drag along rights are eliminated in connection with an IPO.
