TS play several different roles:CF rights -> Term sheets Agency conflicts o govern the rights, obligations, rewards of the parties
Convertible preferred stock/claims (D = statet yield) (NPV): pHR – I > 0 > pLR + B – I ⇒ 0 > (pLRb + B – A) + (pLRl – (I – A)) o shape the incentives for all parties (incl. employees)
PT = I + DIV = I + I*D*T (Div compounded: I + I*(D)T) (icc): pHRb ≥ pLRb + B ⇔ Rb ≥ B/∆p | Rl ≤ R – B/∆p /// P = pH(R – Rb) o bring the parties to clarify their expectations
Convert if CF Common stock > Preferred Terms (pc): P ≥ I – A (no profit: P=I-A) | Rb = R – (I – A)/pH ≥ B/∆p | pH Rb – A = pHR – I o allocate risk across the two parties
Control rights (-> Term sheets): Interim action: (τR<у) (slecht voor E) o specify the rights and duties of the parties towards external parties
FINV*X > PT → CT = PT/FINV → X > CT (employees, future investors)
Implied valuation VCM: Cash-on-cash (1 period Inv) [Financing->InterimAction->Moral-Hazard->Outcome] Stock compensation: to attract&retain talent & defer cash payments
I = FINV*VPOST = P*SINV VPOST = Xe/(1+)T (icc ENT): [(pH + τ)Rb – у] – [(pL+ τ)Rb – у] ≥ B ⇔ Rb ≥ B/∆p to key employees/board members. Stock granted directly or through
VPOST = I/FINV = P*SPOST = VPRE + I VPRE = VPOST – I (pc INV): (pH + τ)(R – Rb) ≥ I – A ➝ INV not lose from action but can ↑payoff stock options. Stock options are issued in a ‘pool’, typically at first
VPRE = VPOST – I = P*SPRE FINV = I/VPOST Multiple liquidation preference (-> get cap back M times) (payoff/utility ENT): (pH + τ)R – I – у < pHR – I ➝ ENT loses from action round. Often 10% to 20% of total ownership.
SPOST = SPRE + SINV VCM (CF INV): Multiple rounds PT =M*I + DIV | CTM = PT/FINV = (M*I + DIV)/FINV > CT Economic Determinants of Valuation
(pH + τ)(R – Rb) ≥ I – A > pH(R – Rb)➝ ENT only gets (I-A) if INV control 1. The opportunity itself: the better the more courted
FPRE = SPRE/SPOST (recursively, 1 period to previous) Participating preferred Damage Control (vRb >у) (goed voor E als ze geen effort doet) 2. The market context: hot vs. cold market
FINV = SINV/SPOST CCMer = (1+)Tr(r+1) E control: (icc): pHRb ≥ (pL + v)Rb + B – у ⇔ Rb ≥ (B – у)/(∆p – v) (H:E notimpl, L:E impl) 3. Deal competition: more competition, higher valuation
Stock Option Pool VPOST(r) = VPRE(r+1)/CCMer
SPOST = SPRE + SINV + SSOP PP cap(preserve E incentives): Participation vanish X > XCAP INV control ➝ (icc): pHRb – у ≥ (pL+v)Rb + B – у ⇔ Rb ≥ B/(∆p – v) (H/L: I always impl) 4. Investor quality: good investor achieve higher valuations
VPRE(r) = VPOST(r) – I(r) Milestones have important economic roles:
VPRE = P*(SPRE + SSOP) Contingent Control Rights (τR<у) (slecht voor E) o define performance targets
FINV(r) = I(r)/VPOST(r)
FSOP = SSOP/SPOST [Financing->Moral-Hazard->IntermediateSignal->InterimAction->Outcome] o align expectations of entrepreneurs and investors
VCM :Failure rate premium
Ownrshp dilution – multiple rounds INV control: (always impl)(can’t observe effort) o provide a focal point (reference point) for renegotiation
Survival to exit pr = (1-z)T
I(r) = Fr(r)*VPOST(r) = P(r)*S(r) (icc): σHHRb – у ≥ σLHRb + B – у ⇔ Rb ≥ B/(σHH – σLH) | (pc): (pH + τ)R – σHHRb ≥ I – A o facilitate negotiation about valuation, bylinkingitto performnce targets

VPRE(r) = VPOST(r) – I(r) = P(r)*SPOST(r-1) ENT control: (not impl)
VPOST = Xe*(1-z)T/(1+d)T= Xe/(t+)T o define team members and their roles
VPOST(r) = P(r)*SPOST(r) = I(r)/Fr(r) (icc): σHHRb ≥ σLHRb + B ⇔ Rb ≥ B/(σHH – σLH) | (pc): pHR – σHHRb ≥ I – A

SPOST(r) = SPOST(r-1) + Sr(r) If INV only control when σxL o allocation points to founders for their contributions
VCM : Financial risk premium (icc): σHHRb – σHLу ≥ σLHRb + B – σLLу ⇔ Rb ≥ [B/(σHH – σLH)] – у

Fi(r) = Fi(r-1)*(1-Fr(r)) incentives at time of exit)
B = Systematic risk (market) Contingent(INV control if σxL) vs unconditional(INV always control): Common performance metric multiples are based on:
Investor returns Staged financing

Operating CF (= NI + D - NWC) (1-T)EBIT + D - NWC perspective (create future value-creating opportunties)
Milestones measure performance in different dimensions:
- Investing CF (Capex) (assets) Insider: knowledge, exploitation, limited contribution, want high V(avoid dilution -> less new S for same I -> E keeps more S)
o financial (e.g., sales, ebit, operating CF, financial ratio)
= FCF (X) = FCF Outsider: expertise, want low V(buy cheap -> more new S for same I)
o operational (e.g., regulatory approval, supply contract)

+ Financing CF (Liabilities & Equity) contracts conditional on this info. The latter assumes that the info is verifiable in court and that contracts can be Anti-dilution: protect FINV1 in Down round (P(r)<P(r-1))
= Cash balans (1) complete. Full info and diverging objectives can become a problem if it is impossible to cover all contingencies in a -> reprice P1 (compensate for payed too much)
NWC = (CA-CL) (CA: cash, Inv, receiv, CL: payables) complete contract, e.g. due to feasibility constraints.
