A term sheet's protective provisions list typically covers raising new financing, selling the company, changing the size of the option pool, and amending the charter, giving investors a check on decisions even without a board majority.
Sıkça sorulan sorular
How are protective provisions different from board approval rights?
Board approval rights require a board vote, where investor-appointed directors may or may not hold a majority. Protective provisions require a separate vote by the preferred shareholders as a class, regardless of board composition.
Can protective provisions block a company from raising its next round?
Yes, if the new financing requires an amendment to the charter or issuing new preferred stock, which is why founders negotiate the scope of protective provisions carefully before signing.
