TOP FIVE DEALS OF 2009
The Top Five: Despite over 400 transactions in 2009, it wasn’t hard choosing our Top Five transactions for 2009 (with a little bit of massaging). Our Top Five transactions are: Facebook’s $200 million D round, Twitter’s $100 million E round, the $2.25 billion acquisition of Skype, the almost $1 billion in financing/M&A for Social Gaming companies (including Zynga, Playdom and Playfish), and the incredible per unique visitor value ascribed in the financing for location-based social networking company Gowalla.
• Facebook raises $200 million D round: In May 2009, Facebook announced a new financing round – raising $200 million from Digital Sky Technologies. The transaction gave Digital Sky a 1.96% stake, valuing Facebook at $10 billion. This financing brought the company’s total to $678.2 million. This was also the largest financing we recorded in 2009.
• Twitter raises $100 million E round: The third largest financing round in 2009 belonged to Twitter – a $100 million Series E in September 2009. The financing reportedly valued Twitter at $1 billion – a remarkable valuation for a company that has not yet formalized a revenue model! More recently, it has been reported that Twitter was actually profitable in 2009 due to the $25 million in search deals it signed in October with Google and Microsoft.
• Skype is acquired for $2.025 billion: By far the largest overall transaction in our database in 2009 was the acquisition of a majority position (65%) in Skype from eBay for $2.025 billion – announced in September 2009. The transaction was completed in November 2009. eBay had purchased Skype for $4.0 billion in 2005.
• Social Gaming financing activity reaches ~$1 billion (Zynga, Playfish, Playdom, etc.): Perhaps the hottest sector overall in 2009 was Social Gaming. This segment of the Web 2.0 market had the third highest number of deals (39) and generated almost $1 billion in financing/M&A activity – the second highest total overall (Figure 1). Three transactions in particular stand out in the social gaming space – the $400 million acquisition of Playfish (by Electronic Arts, November 2009), the $180 million financing of Zynga (Series C, December 2009, by Digital Sky), and the $43 million first round of financing for Playdom (New Enterprise lead, November 2009, Series A). There has been much speculation as to how the larger social gaming companies will proceed, with potential IPO or further strategic M&A most likely.
• Hottest new sector? Location-based social networks (Foursquare, Gowalla, etc.). Unique visitor value skyrockets: Financing activity for location-based social networks really heated up late in 2009. While the total financing raised in 2009 was quite small (~$15 million), the hype surrounding location-based SNS companies was substantial. In our opinion, this was highlighted by the $8.4 million December Series B financing for Gowalla. The reported valuation of $28.4 million implies a value of $568 for each of its 50,000 users (Figure 2). That compares to a $40 per user value we estimate for the Foursquare financing in September.
LATTER HALF OF 2009: FORGING FORWARD
DEAL VALUE ON PACE TO MEET NOVEMBER LEVEL
December starts at strong pace: Total transaction value in the Web 2.0 universe for the first week of December is $68.8 million. The number of financings stands at seven, averaging $9.8 million each. In comparison, total capital raised in November was $203.4 million, averaging $11.3 million (18 deals); October was $171.3 million, averaging $6.3 million (27 deals); and September was $232.8 million, averaging $9.0 million (26 deals).
Broad-based sector financing: Video, Gaming, Advertising, Collaboration, and Analytics experienced the most financing activity among our Web 2.0 sector categories in the past three months by number of transactions (six each). Social Networks remain strong with five deals in the past quarter. Infrastructure and Search round out the top three positions at four deals each over the past three months. The $400 million acquisition of Playfish skews the Virtual Worlds segment to the highest total.
Market pull-back abates – universe split between risers and decliners: Twenty-five companies in our universe had positive stock price performances over the past week (for stocks with prices greater than $1), while 22 companies showed negative 1-week returns.
New royalty agreement for webcasting & copyright firms: SoundExchange, a nonprofit royalty collecting organization associated with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) agreed this past week to a new deal regarding royalty rates for webcasting. Under the new agreement, large commercial webcasters will pay up to 25% of their revenue to copyright holders – well below the 70% that could have been imposed under an earlier deal. While the deal was initially agreed to by three smaller Internet radio webcasters, Pandora Media, the third largest radio site (according to Alexa), also indicated it would sign on to the agreement.
Online Media companies lead financing: Two online media companies – Pandora (Internet Radio) and QuickPlay (Mobile Video) have secured the largest financing transactions thus far in July ($35 million and $12 million respectively). Total capital raised so far in July is $66.1 million through eight transactions, averaging $8.3 million per transaction. June closed with $180 million in financing on 36 transactions. The averages for the months of May (excluding the Facebook transaction) and June were $6.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
A weak price performance week: The companies in our universe had weak stock price performances over the past week (for stocks with prices greater than $1) (Figure 6), with 30 companies showing negative returns on the week. Gravity (NasdaqGM: GRVY) led the group with a 33% return, while GungHo (3765-OSE) had the worst return, dropping 26.4% in the week.
*Capital Market Activity: *The month of May closed with 20 financings
totalling $327.1 million led by the $200 million investment by Digital Sky
Technologies in Facebook. Excluding the Facebook transaction, May would have
been the lowest month in CY2009. The Facebook transaction aside, four
transactions (One Net Ent., Cyberplex, Peer39 and OpenX), were greater than
or equal to $10 million. The average value in May is $15.6 million (and $6.4
million excluding the Facebook transaction), greater than the average value
for April of $6.2 million on 21 financings. The March average was $6.5
million on 24 financings. If you are aware of any companies that have
recently raised money that are not on our list, please send me an email to
have them added to our database.
*Price Performance: *Most of the companies in our universe had positive
stock price performances over the past week (for stocks with prices greater
than $1) (Figure 12), with 29 companies showing positive returns on the
week. GameOn co. Ltd (3812-TSE) led the group with a 28.2% return, while
eolith Co. Ltd. (A041060-KOSE) had the worst return, dropping 13.7% in the
week.
Month-to-date financings in May totalled $106.6 million; led by the $20
million One Net financing. So far, there have been 18 financings in May,
with 10 deals greater than $5 million and only five less than $5 million.
There have been two financings greater than $10 million (Cyberplex and One
Net), with the capital raises by Imeem and EveryZing close behind at $8.8
million and $8.3 million, respectively. The average value thus far in May is
$5.9 million, slightly below the average value for April of $6.5 million on
21 financings. The March average was $6.6 million on 24 financings. Except
for two deals (Kaixin001.com and Collective Media), all were below $20
million for the last three months and a total of four deals were greater
than or equal to $15 million.
*One Net’s $20 million financing is largest deal in May: *One Net announced
a $20 million financing last week, the largest deal so far in May. Ten of
the 18 deals in the month are equal to or greater than $5 million. For
additional details, see Figures 23 and 24 (at end of note). Also note that
the spin-off of StumbleUpon from E-bay on a $29 million valuation occurred
in May. E-bay had bought StumbleUpon for $75 million.
*A strong price performance week: *The companies in our universe had
relatively strong stock price performances over the past week (for stocks
with prices greater than $1) (Figure 6), with 31 companies showing positive
returns on the week. OpenWave Systems (NASDQ:OPWV) led the group with a
49.2% return, while DigitalTown (OTCBB:DGTW) had the worst return, dropping
35.0% in the week.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
