The Right of First Offer to Purchase (ROFO) is a contractual agreement in which the holder (usually a potential buyer) is given the first opportunity to purchase a property (real estate, business, assets, etc.) if the owner decides to sell. It obligates the owner to negotiate with the rights holder before entertaining offers from third parties. If the rights holder declines the offer or negotiations fail, the owner is then free to market the property to others.
When should I use the Right of First Offer to Purchase?
The Right of First Offer to Purchase is typically used in situations where:
Existing Tenants: Commercial tenants may want a ROFO to have the opportunity to purchase the property they are leasing if the landlord decides to sell.
Business Partners: Shareholders or business partners might want a ROFO to ensure one party has the first chance to increase their ownership before the shares are offered to outsiders.
Strategic Real Estate Investments: Developers or investors may seek a ROFO on nearby properties to secure the opportunity to expand their footprint.
How do I write the Right of First Offer to Purchase?
When drafting a Right of First Offer to Purchase clause, clarity and precision are essential. Here is a basic structure to guide you:
Right of First Offer
1. Grant of Right: The Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a right of first offer to purchase the Property (the “ROFO”).
2. Trigger Event: In the event the Seller intends to sell the Property, the Seller shall first notify the Buyer in writing (the “Notice of Intent to Sell”).
3. Offer Terms: Upon receiving the Notice of Intent to Sell, the Buyer shall have the right to make an offer to purchase the Property on terms and conditions no less favorable than those being offered to third parties.
4. Offer Period: The Buyer shall have [specified number of days] days from receipt of the Notice of Intent to Sell to submit a written offer to the Seller.
5. Negotiation Period: The Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith for a period of [specified number of days] days from the receipt of the Buyer’s offer.
6. Failure to Agree: If the Buyer and Seller are unable to reach a mutually agreeable purchase agreement within the Negotiation Period, the Seller may market and sell the Property to third parties, provided the terms are no more favorable than those offered to the Buyer.
7. Notification: The Seller shall notify the Buyer if an offer is received from a third party that is more favorable than the Buyer’s last offer, and the Buyer shall have the option to match such terms within [specified number of days] days.
This language can be adjusted to fit specific circumstances and legal advice should be sought to tailor the clause correctly.
Which contracts typically contain the Right of First Offer to Purchase?
The Right of First Offer to Purchase can be found in various types of agreements, including but not limited to:

The "Right of First Refusal to Lease" clause grants an individual or entity the first opportunity to lease a property before the owner can offer it to other potential tenants. This provision ensures the holder has the priority to either accept the lease terms or waive the opportunity, allowing the owner to proceed with other parties.
The right of last refusal clause grants a party the opportunity to match any offer that another party is prepared to accept before a deal is finalized. This ensures that they have the final chance to secure the deal under the same terms offered by another potential buyer or partner.
The "Right of Reversion" clause refers to a contractual provision that allows property, rights, or interests to revert back to the original owner or grantor after certain conditions are met or upon the occurrence of specific events. This clause is often used in agreements to ensure that the original party retains future control over the asset if the terms of the agreement are not fulfilled or if certain triggers, like the expiration of a lease, come into effect.
