A supermajority provision is a contract provision that states that, for certain business actions, a super majority vote is needed. This differs from a simple majority. A supermajority provision is most often utilized in cases of mergers and acquisitions. For instance, when a target company is thinking about completing a merger, there typically needs to be a favorable supermajority vote in order for the merger to pass. Oftentimes, a supermajority is two-thirds of the vote; however, it may vary from case to case.
