Right of first refusal and co-sale agreement

Controls who can buy into the company

A contract giving the company and/or existing shareholders the right to match an offer before a shareholder sells shares to an outsider (right of first refusal), and the right to sell alongside that shareholder on the same terms if the sale goes ahead (co-sale, or “tag-along”). It's a standard protection for existing investors and founders when ownership changes hands.
