Description

A convertible note purchase agreement isB an agreement between certain investors and a company that binds all the investors to the same terms and conditions for a particular round of convertible debt financing. Convertible debt is debt that can be converted into equity.
A Convertible Note is a loan instrument, but upon the occurrence of an "Equity Financing" - such as raising money from VCs - the note will convert into equity. This particular note contemplates a discount as a concession to note purchasers. Other concessions include a valuation cap and/or warrants, which this note does not consider. There are two pieces to this document: 1) the Note Purchase Agreement and 2) the Note. This is similar to a Stock Purchase Agreement and the underlying Stock Certificate, which symbolizes the actual stock held by the purchaser. The Note Purchase Agreement contains many of the key terms of the Note. This is especially helpful if you have multiple people purchasing Notes under the same agreement and you need to make an amendment - there is a governing umbrella agreement that can be amended vs. having to amend.
