Session nine: What you as a lawyer need to consider is an unstable funding climate
Wednesday 28 September (1600 - 1630)
Description
The second session will build on some of the insights provided in the earlier session on funding and valuation. During this session we will take a more technical dive into matters that lawyers should be considering in the current funding climate when drafting and negotiating transaction documents including:
• Investor defaults – what happens if the investor cannot complete on the funding round after signing
• Impact on funding instruments – convertible equity/debt, venture debt
• Impact on deal terms – anti-dilution protection, milestone investments, increased governance rights
• Impact on deal certainty – material adverse change (MAC) clauses, walk away provisions, force majeure and hardship clauses
