This sample document is the work product of a coalition of attorneys who specialize in venture capital financings, working under the auspices of the NVCA. See the NVCA website for a list of the Working Group members. This document is intended to serve as a starting point only, and should be tailored to meet your specific requirements. This document should not be construed as legal advice for any particular facts or circumstances. Note that this sample presents an array of (often mutually exclusive) options with respect to particular deal provisions.TERM SHEETPreliminary NotesThis Term Sheet maps to the NVCA model documents, and for convenience the provisions are grouped according to the particular model document in which they may be found. Although this Term Sheet is perhaps somewhat longer than a "typical" VC Term Sheet, the aim is to provide a level of detail that makes the Term Sheet useful as both a road map for the document drafters and as a reference source for the business people to quickly find deal terms without the necessity of having to consult the legal documents (assuming of course there have been no changes to the material deal terms prior to execution of the final documents).TERM SHEETFOR SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK FINANCING OF[INSERT COMPANY NAME], INC.[ __, 200_]This Term Sheet summarizes the principal terms of the Series A Preferred Stock Financing of [___________], Inc., a [Delaware] corporation (the “Company”). In consideration of the time and expense devoted and to be devoted by the Investors with respect to this investment, the No Shop/Confidentiality and Counsel and Expenses provisions of this Term Sheet shall be binding obligations of the Company whether or not the financing is consummated. No other legally binding obligations will be created until definitive agreements are executed and delivered by all parties. This Term Sheet is not a commitment to invest, and is conditioned on the completion of due diligence, legal review and documentation that is satisfactory to the Investors. This Term Sheet shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the [State of Delaware].Offering TermsClosing Date: As soon as practicable following the Company’sacceptance of this Term Sheet and satisfaction of theConditions to Closing (the “Closing”).

Note that if the Preferred Stock does not have rights, preferences, and privileges materially superior to the Common Stock, then (after Closing) the Company cannot defensibly grant Common Stock options priced at a discount to the Preferred Stock.[Alternative 3: The Series A Preferred will carry anannual [__]% cumulative dividend [compounded annually],payable upon a liquidation or redemption. For anyother dividends or distributions, participation withCommon Stock on an as-converted basis.] 3Liquidation Preference: In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or windingup of the Company, the proceeds shall be paid asfollows:[Alternative 1 (non-participating Preferred Stock):First pay [one] times the Original Purchase Price [plusaccrued dividends] [plus declared and unpaid dividends]on each share of Series A Preferred.

Thereafter, Series A Preferredparticipates with Common Stock on an as-converted basisuntil the holders of Series A Preferred receive anaggregate of[_____] times the Original PurchasePrice.]A merger or consolidation (other than one in whichstockholders of the Company own a majority by voting3In some cases, accrued and unpaid dividends are payable on conversion as well as upon a liquidation event. Most typically, however, dividends are not paid if the preferred is converted. Another alternative is to give the Company the option to pay accrued and unpaid dividends in cash or in common shares valued at fair market value. Thelatter are referred to as “PIK” (payment-in-kind) dividends.power of the outstanding shares of the surviving oracquiring corporation) and a sale, lease, transfer orother disposition of all or substantially all of theassets of the Company will be treated as a liquidationevent (a “Deemed Liquidation Event”), therebytriggering payment of the liquidation preferencesdescribed above [unless the holders of [___]% of theSeries A Preferred elect otherwise].Voting Rights: The Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together withthe Common Stock on an as-converted basis, and not as aseparate class, except (i) the Series A Preferred as aclass shall be entitled to elect [_______] [(_)]members of the Board (the “Series A Directors”), (ii)as provided under “Protective Provisions” below or(iii) as required by law. The Company’s Certificateof Incorporation will provide that the number ofauthorized shares of Common Stock may be increased ordecreased with the approval of a majority of thePreferred and Common Stock, voting together as a singleclass, and without a separate class vote by the CommonStock.4Protective Provisions: So long as[insert fixed number, or %, or “any”]shares of Series A Preferred are outstanding, theCompany will not, without the written consent of theholders of at least [__]% of the Company’s Series APreferred, either directly or by amendment, merger,consolidation, or otherwise:(i) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the affairs ofthe Company, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event;(ii) amend, alter, or repeal any provision of theCertificate of Incorporation or Bylaws [in a manneradverse to the Series A Preferred];5 (iii) createor authorize the creation of or issue any other 4For California corporations, one cannot “opt out” of the statutory requirement of a s eparate class vote by Common Stockholders to authorize shares of Common Stock.5Note that as a matter of background law, Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that if any proposed charter amendment would adversely alter the rights, preferences and powers of one seriesof Preferred Stock, but not similarly adversely alter the entire class of all Preferred Stock, then the holders of that seriesare entitled to a separate series vote on the amendment.security convertible into or exercisable for anyequity security, having rights, preferences orprivileges senior to or on parity with the Series APreferred, or increase the authorized number ofshares of Series A Preferred; (iv) purchase orredeem or pay any dividend on any capital stockprior to the Series A Preferred, [other than stockrepurchased from former employees or consultants inconnection with the cessation of theiremployment/services, at the lower of fair marketvalue or cost;] [other than as approved by theBoard, including the approval of [_____] Series ADirector(s)]; or (v) create or authorize thecreation of any debt security [if the Company’saggregate indebtedness would exceed $[____][otherthan equipment leases or bank lines of credit][otherthan debt with no equity feature][unless such debtsecurity has received the prior approval of theBoard of Directors, including the approval of[________] Series A Director(s)]; (vi) increase ordecrease the size of the Board of Directors.Optional Conversion: The Series A Preferred initially converts 1:1 to CommonStock at any time at option of holder, subject toadjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinationsand similar events and as described below under “Anti-dilution Provisions.”Anti-dilution Provisions: In the event that the Company issues additionalsecurities at a purchase price less than the currentSeries A Preferred conversion price, such conversionprice shall be adjusted in accordance with thefollowing formula:[Alternative 1: “Typical” weighted average:CP2 = CP1* (A+B) / (A+C)CP2= New Series A Conversion PriceCP1= Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to new issueA = Number of shares of Common Stock deemed tobe outstanding immediately prior to newissue (includes all shares of outstandingcommon stock, all shares of outstandingpreferred stock on an as-converted basis,and all outstanding options on an as-exercised basis; and does not include anyconvertible securities converting intothis round of financing)B = Aggregate consideration received by theCorporation with respect to the new issuedivided by CP1C = Number of shares of stock issued in thesubject transaction][Alternative 2: Full-ratchet – the conversion pricewill be reduced to the price at which the new sharesare issued.][Alternative 3: No price-based anti-dilutionprotection.]The following issuances shall not trigger anti-dilutionadjustment:6(i) securities issuable upon conversion of any ofthe Series A Preferred, or as a dividend ordistribution on the Series A Preferred;(ii) securities issued upon the conversion of anydebenture, warrant, option, or other convertiblesecurity; (iii) Common Stock issuable upon a stocksplit, stock dividend, or any subdivision of sharesof Common Stock; and (iv) shares of Common Stock(or options to purchase such shares of Common Stock)issued or issuable to employees or directors of, orconsultants to, the Company pursuant to any planapproved by the Company’s Board of Directors[including at least [_______] Series A Director(s)][(v) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable tobanks, equipment lessors pursuant to a debt6Note that additional exclusions are frequently negotiated, such as issuances in connection with equipment leasing and commercial borrowing.financing, equipment leasing or real propertyleasing transaction approved by the Board ofDirectors of the Corporation [, including at least[_______] Series A Director(s)].Mandatory Conversion: Each share of Series A Preferred will automatically beconverted into Common Stock at the then applicableconversion rate in the event of the closing of a [firmcommitment] underwritten public offering with a priceof [___]times the Original Purchase Price (subject toadjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinationsand similar events) and [net/gross] proceeds to theCompany of not less than $[_______] (a “QPO”), or(ii) upon the written consent of the holders of [__]%of the Series A Preferred.7[Pay-to-Play: [Unless the holders of [__]% of the Series A electotherwise,] on any subsequent down round all [Major]Investors are required to participate to the fullextent of their participation rights (as describedbelow under “Investor Rights Agreement –Right toParticipate Pro Rata in Future Rounds”), unless theparticipation requirement is waived for all [Major]Investors by the Board [(including vote of [a majorityof] the Series A Director[s])]. All shares of Series APreferred8 of any [Major] Investor failing to do sowill automatically [lose anti-dilution rights] [loseright to participate in future rounds] [convert toCommon Stock and lose the right to a Board seat ifapplicable].97The per share test ensures that the investor achieves a significant return on investment before the Company can go public. Also consider allowing a non-QPO to become a QPO if an adjustment is made to the Conversion Price for the benefit of the investor, so that the investor does not have the power to block a public offering.8Alternatively, this provision could apply on a proportionate basis (e.g., if Investor plays for ½ of pro rata share, receives ½ of anti-dilution adjustment).9If the punishment for failure to participate is losing some but not all rights of the Preferred (e.g., anything other than a forced conversion to common), the Charter will need to have so-called “blank check preferred” provisionsat least to the extent necessary to enable the Board to issue a “shadow” class of preferred with diminished rights in the event an investor fails to participate. Note that as a drafting matter it is far easier to simply have (some or all of) the preferred convert to common.Redemption Rights:10The Series A Preferred shall be redeemable from fundslegally available for distribution at the option ofholders of at least[__]% of the Series A Preferredcommencing any time after the fifth anniversary of theClosing at a price equal to the Original Purchase Price[plus all accrued but unpaid dividends]. Redemptionshall occur in three equal annual portions. Upon aredemption request from the holders of the requiredpercentage of the Series A Preferred, all Series APreferred shares shall be redeemed [(except for anySeries A holders who affirmatively opt-out)].11STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENTRepresentations and Warranties: Standard representations and warranties by the Company. [Representations and warranties by Founders regarding [technology ownership, etc.].12Conditions to Closing: Standard conditions to Closing, which shall include,among other things, satisfactory completion offinancial and legal due diligence, qualification of theshares under applicable Blue Sky laws, the filing of aCertificate of Incorporation establishing the rightsand preferences of the Series A Preferred, and anopinion of counsel to the Company.Counsel and Expenses: [Investor/Company] counsel to draft closing documents.Company to pay all legal and administrative costs of10Redemption rights allow Investors to force the Company to redeem their shares at cost [plus a small guaranteed rate of return (e.g., dividends)]. In practice, redemption rights are not often used; however, they do providea form of exit and some possible leverage over the Company. While it is possible that the right to receive dividends on redemption could give rise to a Code Section 305 “deemed dividend” proble m, many tax practitioners take the view thatif the liquidation preference provisions in the Charter are drafted to provide that, on conversion, the holder receives the greater of its liquidation preference or its as-converted amount (as provided in the NVCA model Certificate of Incorporation), then there is no Section 305 issue.11Due to statutory restrictions, it is unlikely that the Company will be legally permitted to redeem in thevery circumstances where investors most want it (the so-called “sideways situation”), investors will sometimes requestthat certain penalty provisions take effect where redemption has been requested but the Company’s available cash flowdoes not permit such redemption - - e.g., the redemption amount shall be paid in the form of a one-year note to each unredeemed holder of Series A Preferred, and the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled toelect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors until such amounts are paid in full.12Note that while it is not at all uncommon in east coast deals to require the Founders to personally rep and warrant (at least as to certain key matters, and usually only in the Series A round), such Founders reps are rarely foundin west coast deals.the financing [at Closing], including reasonable fees(not to exceed $[_____])and expenses of Investorcounsel[, unless the transaction is not completedbecause the Investors withdraw their commitment withoutcause]13.Company Counsel: []Investor Counsel: []INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENTRegistration Rights:Registrable Securities: All shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion ofthe Series A Preferred and [any other Common Stock heldby the Investors] will be deemed “RegistrableSecurities.”14Demand Registration: Upon earliest of (i) [three-five] years after theClosing; or (ii) [six] months following an initialpublic offering (“IPO”), persons holding [__]% of theRegistrable Securities may request [one][two](consummated) registrations by the Company of theirshares. The aggregate offering price for suchregistration may not be less than $[5-10] million. Aregistration will count for this purpose only if (i)all Registrable Securities requested to be registeredare registered and (ii) it is closed, or withdrawn atthe request of the Investors (other than as a result ofa material adverse change to the Company).Registration on Form S-3: The holders of [10-30]% of the Registrable Securities will have the right to require the Company to register on Form S-3, if available for use by the Company,13The bracketed text should be deleted if this section is not designated in the introductory paragraph as one of the sections that is binding upon the Company regardless of whether the financing is consummated.14Note that Founders/management sometimes also seek registration rights.Registrable Securities for an aggregate offering priceof at least $[1-5 million]. There will be no limit onthe aggregate number of such Form S-3 registrations,provided that there are no more than [two] per year.Piggyback Registration: The holders of Registrable Securities will be entitledto “piggyback” registration rights on allregistration statements of the Company, subject to theright, however, of the Company and its underwriters toreduce the number of shares proposed to be registeredto a minimum of [30]% on a pro rata basis and tocomplete reduction on an IPO at the underwriter’sdiscretion. In all events, the shares to be registeredby holders of Registrable Securities will be reducedonly after all other stockholders’ shares are reduced.Expenses: The registration expenses (exclusive of stock transfertaxes, underwriting discounts and commissions will beborne by the Company. The Company will also pay thereasonable fees and expenses[, not to exceed $______,]of one special counsel to represent all theparticipating stockholders.Lock-up: Investors shall agree in connection with the IPO, ifrequested by the managing underwriter, not to sell ortransfer any shares of Common Stock of the Company[(excluding shares acquired in or following the IPO)]for a period of up to 180 days following the IPO(provided all directors and officers of the Company and[1 –5]% stockholders agree to the same lock-up).Such lock-up agreement shall provide that anydiscretionary waiver or termination of the restrictionsof such agreements by the Company or representatives ofthe underwriters shall apply to [Major] Investors, prorata, based on the number of shares held. A “MajorInvestor” means any Investor who purchases at least$[______] of Series A Preferred.Termination: Earlier of [5] years after IPO, upon a DeemedLiquidation Event, or when all shares of an Investorare eligible to be sold without restriction under Rule144(k) within any 90-day period.No future registration rights may be granted without consent of the holders of a[majority] of the Registrable Securities unless subordinate to the Investor’s rights.Management and Information Rights: A Management Rights letter from the Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Investors, will be delivered prior to Closing to each Investor that requests one. 15Any Major Investor [(who is not a competitor)] will be granted access to Company facilities and personnel during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notification.

In addition, some investors do not require such agreements for fear that employees will request additional consideration in exchange for signing a Non-Compete/Non-Solicit (and indeed the agreement may arguably be invalid absent such additional consideration - - although having an employee sign a non-compete contemporaneous with hiring constitutes adequate consideration). Others take the viewthat it should be up to the Board on a case-by-case basis to determine whether any particular key employee is requiredto sign such an agreement. Non-competes typically have a one year duration, although state law may permit up to two years.with respect to indemnification of Directors.Employee Stock Options: All employee options to vest as follows: [25% afterone year, with remaining vesting monthly over next 36months].[Immediately prior to the Series A Preferred Stockinvestment, [______] shares will be added to the optionpool creating an unallocated option pool of [_______]shares.]Key Person Insurance: Company to acquire life insurance on Founders [nameeach Founder] in an amount satisfactory to the Board.Proceeds payable to the Company.[IPO Directed Shares:18To the extent permitted by applicable law and SECpolicy, upon an IPO consummated one year after Closing,Company to use reasonable best efforts to causeunderwriters to designate [10]% of the offering asdirected shares, 50% of which shall be allocated byMajor Investors.][QSB Stock: Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause itscapital stock to constitute Qualified Small BusinessStock unless the Board determines that suchqualification is inconsistent with the best interestsof the Company.]Termination: All rights under the Investor Rights Agreement, otherthan registration rights, shall terminate upon theearlier of an IPO, a Deemed Liquidation Event or atransfer of more than 50% of Company’s voting power.RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL/CO-SALE AGREEMENTAND VOTING AGREEMENTRight of first Refusal/ Company first and Investors second (to the extent18SEC Staff examiners have taken position that, if contractual right to friends and family shares was granted less than 12 months prior to filing of registration statement, this will be considered an “offer” made prematurely before filing of IPO prospectus. So, investors need to agree to drop shares from offering if that would hold up the IPO. While some documents provide for alternative parallel private placement where the IPO does occur within 12 months,such a parallel private placement could raise integration issues and negatively impact the IPO. Hence, such an alternative is not provided for here.。

保护性条款
保护性条款(Protective Provisions),顾名思义, 就是投资人为了保护自己的利益而设置的条款, 这个条款要求公司在执行某些潜在可能损害投资 人利益的事件之前,要获得投资人的批准。实际 上就是给予投资人一个对公司某些特定事件的否 决权。
保护性条款: 保护性条款:只要有任何优先股仍发行在外流通,以下事 件需要至少持有50%优先股的股东同意: (i) 修订、改变、或废除公司注册证明或公司章程中的任何 条款对A类优先股产生不利影响; (ii) 变更法定普通股或优先股股本; (iii) 设立或批准设立任何拥有高于或等同于A类优先股的 权利、优先权或特许权的其他股份; (iv) 批准任何合并、资产出售或其他公司重组或收购; (v) 回购或赎回公司任何普通股(不包括董事会批准的根 据股份限制协议,在顾问、董事或员工终止服务时的回购) (vi) 宣布或支付给普通股或优先股股利; (vii) 批准公司清算或解散; 这些保护性条款的数量有多有少,少则3、4条,多则二十 多条。
(三)附上限参与分配优先清算权
附上限参与分配权表示优先股按比例参与分配剩余清算资 金,直到获得特定回报上限。在优先权条款后会附加以下 条款: 参与权:在支付给A系列优先股股东清算优先权回报之后, 剩余资产由普通股股东与A系列优先股股东按相当于转换 后股份比例进行分配;但A系列优先股股东一旦其获得的 回报达到[x]倍于原始购买价格以及宣布但尚未发放的股利, 将停止参与分配。之后,剩余的资产将由普通股股东按比 例分配。
上图的意思就是:如果你在1年之内离开公司,你兑现不 了任何股份。1年之后,你可以兑现25%的股份(这就是 “阶梯”),然后你开始按月在剩余的年限里(3年)兑 现剩余股份。比如你在投资交割1年半之后离开公司,你 可以兑现你所有股份的37.5% (25%+75%*6/36)。 股份持有人在离开公司后,他那些还没有兑现的股份通常 由公司收回注销,这些股份不会重新分配,所有其他留守 的股东都被反向稀释而增加股权比例,比如VC、普通股 东、期权持有人。对于没有兑现的期权,公司收回至期权 池,可以继续分配给后续员工。

风险融资过程中投资协议条款清单(TermSheet)谈判

风险融资过程中投资协议条款清单(TermSheet)谈判

风险融资过程中投资协议条款清单(Term Sheet)谈判我认为在风险融资过程中最重要的部分是投资协议条款清单(Term Sheet)谈判。

虽然只有2-3页的篇幅,Term Sheet中囊括了融资相关的所有关键内容的概要,因此,一旦签署,接下来的融资过程就会非常程序化。

根据我作为投资者和创业者所看到和经历过的融资,我给创业者总结了最重要的11条经验(我新增了一条)如下(不分先后):1.请一位好律师。

一位真正好的律师,而不是你自己感觉不错或是能用又不贵的律师(比如说你太太的兄弟的朋友的邻居),你要的是一位对风险融资了如指掌的律师。

这样的律师有很多,他们中不少还曾经为VC工作过,也为创业者工作过,他们能够让你免受损失。

不管你经验多么丰富,律师会比你更丰富。

2.关注关键条款。

典型的Term Sheet至少有20多条详细条款,最终只有少数条款是关键。

其它条款你也要让你的律师确认是合理的或是标准的。

把时间花在公司估值、证券类型、期权比例、董事会构成以及你自己的报酬和权力等关键条款上。

2a (新增)获得清晰的资本结构(即使在估值上让步)。

所有人都认为投资交易中最重要的是谋求价格/公司估值的最大化,事实上,从长远来讲资本结构更为重要。

风险投资人占你公司33%还是30%的股份并不重要,重要的是资本结构对后续投资者(如投资银行或和后期投资VC)是否易于理解,并有投资意愿。

3.准备最佳替代方案。

这可能是我最重要的一条建议,不仅针对Term Sheet,而是对所有的谈判。

如果有2-3个投资者有意向投资你,我可以保证,如你谈判得当,你将会从最好的投资者那得到更好的投资条款。

如果你只有一份Term Sheet,你就没有谈判的筹码。

虽然你会花2-3倍的时间,但是这是完全值得的。

4.选择好的投资者。

好的与差的投资者有天壤之别(不管是合伙人还是投资公司),他们将最终对你的企业能取得多大的成功产生非常重大的影响。

虽然投资者的好坏不如产品和团队的好坏重要,但确实有影响。

风险投资协议TERM SHEET(英文版)

风险投资协议TERM SHEET(英文版)

This sample document is the work product of a coalition of attorneys who specialize in venture capital financings, working under the auspices of the NVCA. See the NVCA website for a list of the Working Group members. This document is intended to serve as a starting point only, and should be tailored to meet your specific requirements. This document should not be construed as legal advice for any particular facts or circumstances. Note that this sample presents an array of (often mutually exclusive) options with respect to particular deal provisions.TERM SHEETPreliminary NotesThis Term Sheet maps to the NVCA model documents, and for convenience the provisions are grouped according to the particular model document in which they may be found. Although this Term Sheet is perhaps somewhat longer than a "typical" VC Term Sheet, the aim is to provide a level of detail that makes the Term Sheet useful as both a road map for the document drafters and as a reference source for the business people to quickly find deal terms without the necessity of having to consult the legal documents (assuming of course there have been no changes to the material deal terms prior to execution of the final documents).TERM SHEETFOR SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK FINANCING OF[INSERT COMPANY NAME], INC.[ __, 200_]This Term Sheet summarizes the principal terms of the Series A Preferred Stock Financing of [___________], Inc., a [Delaware] corporation (the “Company”). In consideration of the time and expense devoted and to be devoted by the Investors with respect to this investment, the No Shop/Confidentiality and Counsel and Expenses provisions of this Term Sheet shall be binding obligations of the Company whether or not the financing is consummated. No other legally binding obligations will be created until definitive agreements are executed and delivered by all parties. This Term Sheet is not a commitment to invest, and is conditioned on the completion of due diligence, legal review and documentation that is satisfactory to the Investors.1Modify this provision to account for staged investments or investments dependent on the achievement of milestones by the Company.CHARTER2Dividends: [Alternative 1: Dividends will be paid on the Series A Preferred onan as-converted basis when, as, and if paid on the Common Stock][Alternative 2: Non-cumulative dividends will be paid on the SeriesA Preferred in an amount equal to $[_____] per share of Series APreferred when and if declared by the Board.][Alternative 3: The Series A Preferred will carry an annual [__]%cumulative dividend [compounded annually], payable upon aliquidation or redemption. For any other dividends or distributions,participation with Common Stock on an as-converted basis.] 32The Charter is a public document, filed with the [Delaware] Secretary of State, that establishes all of the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Preferred Stock. Note that if the Preferred Stock does not have rights, preferences, and privileges materially superior to the Common Stock, then (after Closing) the Company cannot defensibly grant Common Stock options priced at a discount to the Preferred Stock.3In some cases, accrued and unpaid dividends are payable on conversion as well as upon a liquidation event. Most typically, however, dividends are not paid if the preferred is converted. Another alternative is to give the Company the option to pay accrued and unpaid dividends in cash or in common shares valued at fair market value. The latter are referred to as “PIK” (payment-in-kind) dividends.Liquidation Preference: In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of theCompany, the proceeds shall be paid as follows:[Alternative 1 (non-participating Preferred Stock): First pay [one]times the Original Purchase Price [plus accrued dividends] [plusdeclared and unpaid dividends] on each share of Series A Preferred.The balance of any proceeds shall be distributed to holders ofCommon Stock.][Alternative 2 (full participating Preferred Stock): First pay [one]times the Original Purchase Price [plus accrued dividends] [plusdeclared and unpaid dividends] on each share of Series A Preferred.Thereafter, the Series A Preferred participates with the CommonStock on an as-converted basis.][Alternative 3 (cap on Preferred Stock participation rights): Firstpay [one] times the Original Purchase Price [plus accrued dividends][plus declared and unpaid dividends] on each share of Series APreferred. Thereafter, Series A Preferred participates with CommonStock on an as-converted basis until the holders of Series APreferred receive an aggregate of[_____] times the OriginalPurchase Price.]A merger or consolidation (other than one in which stockholders ofthe Company own a majority by voting power of the outstandingshares of the surviving or acquiring corporation) and a sale, lease,transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets ofthe Company will be treated as a liquidation event (a “DeemedLiquidation Event”), thereby trig gering payment of the liquidationpreferences described above [unless the holders of [___]% of theSeries A Preferred elect otherwise].Voting Rights: The Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the CommonStock on an as-converted basis, and not as a separate class, except(i) the Series A Preferred as a class shall be entitled to elect[_______] [(_)] members of the Board (the “Series A Directors”),(ii) as provided under “Protective Provisions” below or (iii) asrequired by law. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation willprovide that the number of authorized shares of Common Stock maybe increased or decreased with the approval of a majority of thePreferred and Common Stock, voting together as a single class, andwithout a separate class vote by the Common Stock.44For California corporations, one cannot “opt out” of the statutory requirement of a separate class vote by Common Stockholders to authorize shares of Common Stock.Protective Provisions: So long as[insert fixed number, or %, or “any”] shares of Series APreferred are outstanding, the Company will not, without the writtenconsent of the holders of at least [__]% of the Company’s Se ries APreferred, either directly or by amendment, merger, consolidation,or otherwise:(i) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the affairs of the Company, oreffect any Deemed Liquidation Event; (ii) amend, alter, or repealany provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws [in amanner adverse to the Series A Preferred];5 (iii) create orauthorize the creation of or issue any other security convertibleinto or exercisable for any equity security, having rights,preferences or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series APreferred, or increase the authorized number of shares of SeriesA Preferred; (iv) purchase or redeem or pay any dividend on anycapital stock prior to the Series A Preferred, [other than stockrepurchased from former employees or consultants in connectionwith the cessation of their employment/services, at the lower offair market value or cost;] [other than as approved by the Board,including the approval of [_____] Series A Director(s)]; or(v) create or authorize the creation of any debt security [if theCompany’s aggregate indebtedness would exceed $[____][otherthan equipment leases or bank lines of credit][other than debtwith no equity feature][unless such debt security has received theprior approval of the Board of Directors, including the approvalof [________] Series A Director(s)]; (vi) increase or decrease thesize of the Board of Directors.Optional Conversion: The Series A Preferred initially converts 1:1 to Common Stock atany time at option of holder, subject to adjustments for stockdividends, splits, combinations and similar events and as describedbelow under “Anti-dilution Provisions.”Anti-dilution Provisions: In the event that the Company issues additional securities at apurchase price less than the current Series A Preferred conversionprice, such conversion price shall be adjusted in accordance with thefollowing formula:[Alternative 1: “Typical” weighted average:CP2 = CP1 * (A+B) / (A+C)5Note that as a matter of background law, Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that if any proposed charter amendment would adversely alter the rights, preferences and powers of one seriesof Preferred Stock, but not similarly adversely alter the entire class of all Preferred Stock, then the holders of that seriesare entitled to a separate series vote on the amendment.CP2= New Series A Conversion PriceCP1= Series A Conversion Price in effect immediatelyprior to new issueA = Number of shares of Common Stock deemed to beoutstanding immediately prior to new issue (includesall shares of outstanding common stock, all shares ofoutstanding preferred stock on an as-converted basis,and all outstanding options on an as-exercised basis;and does not include any convertible securitiesconverting into this round of financing)B = Aggregate consideration received by the Corporationwith respect to the new issue divided by CP1C = Number of shares of stock issued in the subjecttransaction][Alternative 2: Full-ratchet – the conversion price will be reduced tothe price at which the new shares are issued.][Alternative 3: No price-based anti-dilution protection.]The following issuances shall not trigger anti-dilution adjustment:6(i) securities issuable upon conversion of any of the Series APreferred, or as a dividend or distribution on the Series APreferred; (ii) securities issued upon the conversion of anydebenture, warrant, option, or other convertible security;(iii) Common Stock issuable upon a stock split, stock dividend,or any subdivision of shares of Common Stock; and (iv) sharesof Common Stock (or options to purchase such shares ofCommon Stock) issued or issuable to employees or directors of,or consultants to, the Company pursuant to any plan approved bythe Company’s Board of Directors [including at least [_______]Series A Director(s)] [(v) shares of Common Stock issued orissuable to banks, equipment lessors pursuant to a debtfinancing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transactionapproved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation [,including at least [_______] Series A Director(s)].Mandatory Conversion: Each share of Series A Preferred will automatically be convertedinto Common Stock at the then applicable conversion rate in theevent of the closing of a [firm commitment] underwritten publicoffering with a price of [___]times the Original Purchase Price(subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations andsimilar events) and [net/gross] proceeds to the Company of not less6Note that additional exclusions are frequently negotiated, such as issuances in connection with equipment leasing and commercial borrowing.than $[_______] (a “QPO”), or (ii) upon the written consent of theholders of [__]%of the Series A Preferred.7[Pay-to-Play: [Unless the holders of [__]% of the Series A elect otherwise,] on anysubsequent down round all [Major] Investors are required toparticipate to the full extent of their participation rights (as describedbelow under “Investor Rights Agreement – Right to Participate ProRata in F uture Rounds”), unless the participation requirement iswaived for all [Major] Investors by the Board [(including vote of [amajority of] the Series A Director[s])]. All shares of Series APreferred8 of any [Major] Investor failing to do so will automatically[lose anti-dilution rights] [lose right to participate in future rounds][convert to Common Stock and lose the right to a Board seat ifapplicable].9Redemption Rights:10The Series A Preferred shall be redeemable from funds legallyavailable for distribution at the option of holders of at least[__]% ofthe Series A Preferred commencing any time after the fifthanniversary of the Closing at a price equal to the Original PurchasePrice [plus all accrued but unpaid dividends]. Redemption shalloccur in three equal annual portions. Upon a redemption requestfrom the holders of the required percentage of the Series APreferred, all Series A Preferred shares shall be redeemed [(exceptfor any Series A holders who affirmatively opt-out)].117The per share test ensures that the investor achieves a significant return on investment before the Company can go public. Also consider allowing a non-QPO to become a QPO if an adjustment is made to the Conversion Price for the benefit of the investor, so that the investor does not have the power to block a public offering.8Alternatively, this provision could apply on a proportionate basis (e.g., if Investor plays for ½ of pro rata share, receives ½ of anti-dilution adjustment).9If the punishment for failure to participate is losing some but not all rights of the Preferred (e.g., anything other than a forced conversion to common), the Charter will need to have so-called “blank check preferred” provisionsat least to the extent necessary to enable the Board to issue a “shadow” class of preferred with diminished rights in the event an investor fails to participate. Note that as a drafting matter it is far easier to simply have (some or all of) the preferred convert to common.10Redemption rights allow Investors to force the Company to redeem their shares at cost [plus a small guaranteed rate of return (e.g., dividends)]. In practice, redemption rights are not often used; however, they do providea form of exit and some possible leverage over the Company. While it is possible that the right to receive dividends on redemption could give rise to a Code Section 305 “deemed dividend” problem, many tax practitioners take the view thatif the liquidation preference provisions in the Charter are drafted to provide that, on conversion, the holder receives the greater of its liquidation preference or its as-converted amount (as provided in the NVCA model Certificate of Incorporation), then there is no Section 305 issue.11Due to statutory restrictions, it is unlikely that the Company will be legally permitted to redeem in the very circumstances where investors most want it (the so-called “sideways situation”), investors will sometimes requestthat certain penalty provisions take eff ect where redemption has been requested but the Company’s available cash flow does not permit such redemption - - e.g., the redemption amount shall be paid in the form of a one-year note to each unredeemed holder of Series A Preferred, and the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors until such amounts are paid in full.。

风险投资协议条款汇总

风险投资协议条款汇总

风险投资协议(Term Sheet)详解之一:清算优先权情景一:假如你是第一次创业,你正在寻找风险投资(VC),在经过跟风险投资人漫长的商业计划演示和交流之后,突然有一天,投资人对你的公司产生了投资兴趣,于是给你出了一份所谓“投资协议条款清单”(Term Sheet)。

但是,包括你的团队、你的董事会、你周围的朋友在内,都没有人曾经看到过一份Term Sheet,里面的某个“清算优先权”条款是这样写的(通常是英文):Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of the Common Stock a per share amount equal to 2x the Original Purchase Price…A系列优先股有权优先于普通股股东每股获得初始购买价格2倍的回报…你完全搞不懂这是什么意思。

情景二:假如你接受了上面那份Term Sheet,投资人跟你投资了$2M,给你的投资前估值(Pre-money valuation)是$3M,投资后(Post-money)估值$5M,于是投资人拥有你公司40%的股份。

经过1年,公司运营不是很好,被人以$5M的价格并购。

你认为你手上60%的股份可以分得$2.5M的现金,也还满意。

但是投资人突然告诉你,根据协议,他要拿走$4M (投资额的2倍),留给你的只有$1M。

你又糊涂了。

什么是清算优先权(Liquidation Preference)?几乎所有的VC选择可转换优先股(Convertible preferred stock)的投资方式,而可转换优先股的最重要的一个特性就是拥有清算优先权。

优先清算权是Term sheet中一个非常重要的条款,决定公司在清算后蛋糕怎么分配,即资金如何优先分配给持有公司某特定系列股份的股东,然后分配给其他股东。

例如,A轮(Series A)融资的Term sheet中,规定A轮投资人,即A系列优先股股东(Series A preferred shareholders)能在普通股(Common)股东之前获得多少回报。

The standard vestingschedule for the employee stock option plan is four years, with 25% ofoption shares vesting upon the first anniversary of service, and thebalance vesting on a monthly basis over the remaining three years.Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series B Preferred Stock.Generally: Comment: Dividends typically range from 8% to 10% of the Original Purchase Price.The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have rights on par with the holders of Series A Preferred Stock. The terms described herein are substantially identical to the terms agreed to in the Company's Series A Preferred Stock financing. The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock are sometimes referred to herein as the "Preferred."Dividends: The holders of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock shall beentitled to receive noncumulative dividends at the rate of $ and$ , respectively, per share per annum when, as, and if declaredby the Board of Directors, prior to any payment of dividends on theCommon Stock.Liquidation Preference: Comment: This is a simple participating preferred.

风险投资协议(Term Sheet)详解之一:清算优先权情景一:假如你是第一次创业,你正在寻找风险投资(VC),在经过跟风险投资人漫长的商业计划演示和交流之后,突然有一天,投资人对你的公司产生了投资兴趣,于是给你出了一份所谓“投资协议条款清单”(Term Sheet)。

但是,包括你的团队、你的董事会、你周围的朋友在内,都没有人曾经看到过一份Term Sheet,里面的某个“清算优先权”条款是这样写的(通常是英文):Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of the Common Stock a per share amount equal to 2x the Original Purchase Price…A系列优先股有权优先于普通股股东每股获得初始购买价格2倍的回报…你完全搞不懂这是什么意思。

情景二:假如你接受了上面那份Term Sheet,投资人跟你投资了$2M,给你的投资前估值(Pre-money valuation)是$3M,投资后(Post-money)估值$5M,于是投资人拥有你公司40%的股份。

经过1年,公司运营不是很好,被人以$5M的价格并购。

你认为你手上60%的股份可以分得$2.5M的现金,也还满意。

但是投资人突然告诉你,根据协议,他要拿走$4M (投资额的2倍),留给你的只有$1M。

你又糊涂了。

什么是清算优先权(Liquidation Preference)?几乎所有的VC选择可转换优先股(Convertible preferred stock)的投资方式,而可转换优先股的最重要的一个特性就是拥有清算优先权。

优先清算权是Term sheet中一个非常重要的条款,决定公司在清算后蛋糕怎么分配,即资金如何优先分配给持有公司某特定系列股份的股东,然后分配给其他股东。

例如,A轮(Series A)融资的Term sheet中,规定A轮投资人,即A系列优先股股东(Series A preferred shareholders)能在普通股(Common)股东之前获得多少回报。
