1.5. “Equity Securities,” the common or preferred share of the company or securities that transfer the right to acquire the common shares or preferred shares or securities of the Company; which may be converted into common or preferential shares of the company, except for all guarantees granted, issued and/or sold by the company to acquire or exchange a director, officer, employee or advisor of the company in such a capacity, for (with or without additional consideration), excluding all guarantees granted, issued and/or sold by the company. Writing a change note is a delicate process. Investors always want both a discount and a cap. They also prefer a lower valuation ceiling. If the ceiling is low, the investor gets more equity if a start-up succeeds. Having both a discount rate and a ceiling is a potential for significant gains. A convertible bond is a credit instrument, but after the emergence of “equity financing,” such as the fund-raising by venture capitalists, the note is converted into equity.
This particular note considers a discount to be a concession to buyers. Other concessions include an valuation cap and/or warrants that are not included in this note. There are two parts of these documents, 1) the Note Purchase Agreement and 2) the note.
