FAQ

What must I do to receive my equity or cash in the event of the conversion of my Crowd SAFE?

What must I do to receive my equity or cash in the event of the conversion of my Crowd SAFE?

Suppose the Company converts the Crowd SAFE as a result of an equity financing. In that case, you must open a custodial account with the custodian and sign subscription documentation to receive the equity securities. The Company will notify you of the conversion trigger, and you must complete necessary documentation within 30 days of such notice. If you do not complete the required documentation with that time frame, you will only be able to receive an amount of cash equal to (or less in some circumstances) your investment amount. Unclaimed cash will be subject to relevant escheatment laws. For more information, see the Crowd SAFE for this offering.


If the conversion of the Crowd SAFE is triggered as a result of a Liquidity Event (e.g. M&A or an IPO), then you will be required to select between receiving a cash payment (equal to your investment amount or a lesser amount) or equity.  You are required to make your selection (and complete any relevant documentation) within 30 days of such receiving notice from the Company of the conversion trigger, otherwise you will receive the cash payment option, which will be subject to relevant escheatment laws. The equity consideration varies depending on whether the Liquidity Event occurs before or after an equity financing. For more information, see the Crowd SAFE for this offering.
