All About Acme LLC
• Initial valuation $1M (we’ll get back to this.)
• 10M shares, ie $0.10/share
![Page 4: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Funding Round
• Bring in capital (cash) via sale of new shares to investors
• Similar to more guests at a pot luck: more people and more food
• Since cash is king, gets preferential treatment
![Page 5: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Funding Round
• Acme grew to $4M, pre-money
• Raising $1M
![Page 6: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Funding Round
• Pre: $4M/10M, so $0.40/share
• Post: $5M/X = $0.40/share (value preserving)
• Need to issue 2M shares

Funding Round
• Dilution in percentage ownership
• No value dilution
• Bet that cash can be converted in at least same equity value
![Page 9: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Debt Issuance
• Traditional model of funding
• Deterministic returns (if all goes well), and faster liquidity
• But exposed to company failure without being exposed to its success

Valuation

• Liquidity
![Page 14: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• (Introduced post Enron disaster, 2005.)
![Page 15: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

All About Stock & Options
• Stock — subdivision of a company’s value, into a made-to-measure currency
• Option — … to purchase stock at set price i.e. the strike. Technically, called a “Call Option.” (We’ll skip put options, naked options, and other exotic options.)
![Page 18: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Common vs Preferred
• Preferred has liquidation preference
• Common is a mean to provide in-the-money value to employees, and comply with IRS rules
• Preferred converted into common at IPO
![Page 19: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ISO vs NQSO
• ISO has tax advantages over NQSO(Gains between strike and exercise taxed as capital gains vs income.)
• Can't qualify as ISO if aggregate fair market value of underlying stock is greater than $100,000 in a given calendar year

Acme Employee Pool
• 10M shares outstanding, $4M valuation total
• Want to have ~10% for new employees
• Create 1M shares earmarked for distribution
![Page 21: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Employee Pool
• New Hires
• Evergreens
• Promotions & Performance
![Page 22: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Expanding Employee Pool
• Issue new shares earmarked for distribution to employees
![Page 23: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Acme Employee Pool
• Pre: $4M/10M, so $0.40/share
• Post: $4M/11M, so $0.37/share?
![Page 24: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Acme Employee Pool
• Trick: 1M shares are on the books of Acme
• Ownership of 1 share, also means 0.1 of employee pool share
• Therefore, still value preserving!
![Page 25: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Acme Employee Pool
• Dilution when issuing a grant
• Bet that new hire will translate into more equity value than size of grant
• (Similar concept as cash being converted into more equity value.)
![Page 26: Corporate Finance Primer](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052522/554ebb8ab4c905de468b4747/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Strike Price• Strike set when options are granted
• Most “Stock Option Plan”:
• Grant post start date
• With approval & oversight of the board
• That’s Corporate Governance, not IRS rules. Very touchy area though.

Exercising
• Tax benefit, at the cost of liquidity
• Golden handcuffs, not
• Early exercise even better!
