Examples of Liquidity Capitalization in a sentence

• The Liquidity Capitalization also excludes Converting Securities that will be cashed out based on their Purchase Amounts (and thus no longer treated as outstanding securities in the Liquidity Event) and Promised Options that will not be receiving any proceeds from the transaction.

• The primary difference between the Company Capitalization and the Liquidity Capitalization is that the Liquidity Capitalization excludes the Unissued Option Pool, because the acquirer in a Liquidity Event only buys the company’s outstanding equity, and equity that isn’t actually issued and outstanding, like the Unissued Option Pool, is simply not part of the equation.

• The “Liquidity Capitalization” is the denominator used in calculating the Liquidity Price, which is the price used to calculate the Conversion Amount payable to the investor in a Liquidity Event (i.e., the Liquidity Price equals the Post-Money Valuation Cap divided by the Liquidity Capitalization).

• Subject to the liquidation priority set forth in Section 1(d) below, the amount payable in the event of a Liquidity Event shall be equal to the greater of (A) the Purchase Amount and (B) the amount payable on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Pro Rata Share of the product of multiplying (x) the Rolling SAFE Equity Percentage and (y) the Liquidity Capitalization (the “Conversion Amount”).

If a company goes public, a safe will convert into shares of common stock calculated based on the Valuation Cap (or the safe holder can cash out the safe). • Does a safe ever expire? A safe has no maturity date. A safe is designed to expire and terminate only when a safe holder has received stock or cash, in an equity financing, change of control transaction, IPO or dissolution – whichever occurs first. In theory, a safe could remain outstanding for a long time without the need to “extend” any dates or time periods. A safe can be amended by the company and the safe holder, if necessary. See Example 6 in Appendix II. • What happens to a safe if the company shuts down and goes out of business? In a dissolution, any money that the company has to distribute would be distributed to safe holders before any money is allocated to holders of common stock. • Can a safe have a discount, or a “Most Favored Nation” provision? Yes. This Primer describes a safe with a Valuation Cap only (a “Standard Safe”). Other versions of the safe are described in Appendix I.
