Some of the most common forms of unfair competition include:

  • Real Estate and Business Use: ROFO is common in commercial real estate and business sales, particularly beneficial in tenant-landlord and business partnership scenarios.
  • Legal Considerations: Clearly defined terms in a ROFO contract, including timeframes, pricing, and sale conditions, are crucial to avoid misunderstandings. Legal assistance is recommended to ensure the contract is equitable and enforceable.
  • Advantages vs. Disadvantages: ROFO offers stability for tenants and fast sales for landlords but lacks the strength of the right of first refusal (ROFR), which deters third-party bids.

The term, “dilution” refers to an event in which the shareholders’ ownership of a company is reduced due to the issuance of new shares in that particular company. The ownership percentage is decreased as the whole capital is increased, the concept is simple as that.
