Convertible Loan Agreement

A convertible loan agreement is a type of loan in which the lender may (or has to) convert the loan amount granted to a startup into equity at a later date. The conversion is typically exercised when the startup raises additional funding, such as through a venture capital investment or an initial public offering or a specific maturity date.

Convertible loans are often used by startups that are not yet generating sufficient revenue to qualify for a traditional loan. The terms of the loan, including the conversion rate, are usually negotiated between the startup and the lender at the time the loan is made. The conversion rate determines the number of shares the lender will receive in exchange for the loan amount.

Shareholders’ Agreement

A shareholders’ agreement is an agreement between in particular the shareholders of the startup that sets out the rules and regulations for how the startup should be run and how disputes should be resolved. It is a private agreement that is not filed with the commercial register and is not a part of the startup’s articles of association. Shareholders’ agreements can cover a wide range of topics, such as the rights and obligations of shareholders, the process for electing board members, restrictions on the transfer of shares, and the procedures for resolving disputes. Some shareholders’ agreements also include provisions related to the management of the startup, such as the appointment of managers and the allocation of profits. The rights and obligations of the parties to the shareholders’ agreement usually evolve with the company’s growth as specific mechanism may be required by investors in the startup’s future investment rounds.

Term Sheet

A term sheet is usually a non-binding document that outlines the key terms and conditions of a proposed business transaction. It is typically used in the early stages of negotiations, before the parties have committed to entering into a formal agreement. The purpose of a term sheet is to provide a framework for the negotiation of the final agreement and to facilitate the due diligence process.

A term sheet may include provisions relating, amongst others, to the purchase or sale of a business or assets, the terms of a joint venture, the terms of a financing round or the terms of a merger or acquisition. It may also include information about the parties involved in the transaction, the structure of the deal, the rights and obligations of the parties, and any key terms or conditions that need to be addressed in the final agreement.

A term sheet is an important reference point for the parties as they work towards a final agreement. It can also serve as a binding agreement in certain circumstances, such as if it includes provisions that are specifically stated to be binding or if the parties have relied on the term sheet in their negotiations.

Tokenized / Digital Shares

Tokenized shares are digital representations of a company’s shares or non-voting shares that are stored on a blockchain or other decentralized ledger. They are similar to traditional shares/non-voting shares in that they represent an ownership interest in a company and entitle the holder to certain rights and benefits, such as the right to receive dividends and the right to vote on company matters depending on the case. However, unlike traditional shares, tokenized shares are digital and can be easily bought, sold, and transferred using blockchain technology.

Tokenized shares can be issued and traded on a variety of blockchain platforms, such as Ethereum, and can be held in digital wallets like traditional cryptocurrencies.

Option Agreement

In the context of start-ups, an option agreement is a legally binding agreement that gives one party (the “option holder”) the right, but not the obligation, to buy shares of the company at a predetermined price (the “strike price”) within a certain time period (the “option period”). The person (founders, company, etc) that grants the option is obliged to sell the shares to the option holder if the option holder chooses to exercise the option.

Option agreements typically include provisions outlining the terms of the option, such as the underlying asset (common shares, privileged shares, non-voting shares), the strike price, the option period, and any other relevant details.
