    19. Principles of Term Sheets Down-Side Protection 3 hutchlaw.com 19
    20. Down-Side Protection Anti-Dilution Protection Ratchet (Largest adjustment) Conversion price of Preferred adjusted down to price of dilutive issuance Broad based weighted average (Least adjustment) Conversion price of Preferred adjusted down based on a weighted average of outstanding securities, including options and warrants Narrow based weighted average (Medium adjustment) Conversion price of Preferred adjusted down based on a weighted average of outstanding capital stock – does not include options and warrants hutchlaw.com 20
    21. Down-Side Protection Don’t Forget Exclusions Option pool of limited size Mergers / acquisitions Warrants for banks / leasing companies Strategic transactions hutchlaw.com 21
    22. Anti-Dilution Calculation Facts: Hi-Tec, Inc. has: 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock Options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock was sold at $1.00 per share. Hi-Tec, Inc. now would like to issue 4,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $0.50 per share. How is Series A Preferred Stock affected? hutchlaw.com 22
    23. Anti-Dilution Calculation, cont. Ratchet: Series A initially converts to Common on a 1:1 ratio based on its purchase price $1.00/$1.00. After the issuance of Series B, the conversion price is ratcheted down to $0.50. The new conversion ratio is calculated as follows: $1.00/$0.50 (or 1:2). So, for every 1 share of Series A converted, the holder will receive 2 shares of Common. So, the 5,000,000 shares of Series A will convert into 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. hutchlaw.com 23
    24. Anti-Dilution Calculation, cont. Broad-Based Weighted Average: Formula: (all outstanding securities) x Conversion Price + Amount Raised All outstanding securities + New Securities Issued Calculation: (3,000,000 + 5,000,000 + 2,000,000) x $1.00 + $2,000,000 = 0.8571428 3,000,000 + 5,000,000 + 2,000,000 + 4,000,000 Conversion Ratio: $1.00 ÷ $0.8571428 = 1.166 So, the 5,000,000 shares of Series A will convert into 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock. hutchlaw.com 24
    25. Anti-Dilution Calculation, cont. Narrow-Based Weighted Average: Formula: (Common + Preferred) x Conversion Price + Amount Raised Common + Preferred + New Securities Issued Calculation: (3,000,000 + 5,000,000) x $1.00 + $2,000,000 = 0.8333333 3,000,000 + 5,000,000 + 4,000,000 Conversion Ratio: $1.00 ÷ $0.8333333 = 1.2 So, the 5,000,000 shares of Series A will convert into 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock. hutchlaw.com 25
