Form D and Form D amendments must be filed with the SEC online using EDGAR (electronic gathering, analysis and retrieval) system. In order to do so, the issuer must obtain its own filer identification number (called a “Central Index Key” or “CIK” number) and access codes.
SAFE Note Example For example, an investor purchases a SAFE note from your startup with a valuation cap of $10M. Your company's value is set at $20M at $10/share during the subsequent funding round. The SAFE note will convert based on the valuation cap of $10M.
The Form D asks you to list specifics about your fundraising. This includes listing (a) “The Total Offering Amount” (the amount you want raise), (b) “The Amount Sold” (the amount you actually raised), and (c) “The Total Remaining to be Sold” (the amount you failed to raise, but are still trying to raise).
SAFE Example The SAFE investor would receive 6,250 shares under the 20% discount rate term in their agreement, or 15,000 shares if they had a valuation cap of $4 million. If an Investor had both features included in their SAFE agreement, the investor would likely choose the valuation cap and receive 15,000 shares.
How to negotiate a SAFE agreement Understand the terms and conditions. Create a term sheet that outlines the conditions you're willing to accept and those you want to negotiate. Align interests with investors. Find investors who offer more than just capital. Come in with a plan. Focus on building relationships.
Once you have all the information you need, make the filing by visiting the website at and using your CIK and CCC numbers to log in. Once logged in, choose “Form D” under “Make a Filing” in the top left corner as shown in the sample image below.
Form D, also known as the Notice of Sale of Securities, is required by the SEC for companies selling securities in a Regulation (Reg) D exemption or with Section 4(6) exemption provisions. Form D details basic information or essential facts about the company for investors.
The purpose of Form D is to provide the SEC and investors with information about the offering, including the type of securities being offered, the number of securities being offered, and the number of investors who have purchased the securities.
Privately held companies that raise capital are required to file a Form D with the SEC to declare exempt offering of securities.
