waterfall questions
Hi guys,
Some basic questions for people familiar with OPM and waterfalls:
1. Say investor C owns 2x participating preferred shares but new investors own 1x non-participating preferred that are pari passu with investor B. How does the waterfall work in this case? Who takes its money first? How does it work if exit proceeds are above or below the total amount raised by the company?
2. How would you treat a convertible note in a waterfall? (consider it on an "as-converted" basis based on the valuation of the business?)
Thanks much!
To clarify, is Investor C the series C investor, and Investor B the Series B investor?The further you go down the alphabet the more "new" the money is.Series B commits 100 with a 1x pref, then Series C later commits 100 with a 2x pref.First Series C must get 200 back before Series B gets 100 back. In the even that the company sells for only 150 then Series C only gets back 150 and Series B, A, common get back Zero.
Hi, here it is a bit more complex with B having a participating preferred while C has a non participating preferred pari passu with B.
