Term sheet
• A term sheet is a bullet-point document outlining the material
terms and conditions of a business agreement
– It implies the conditions of a business transaction
• A term sheet generally covers the more important aspects of a
deal, without going into every minor detail and contingency
covered by a binding contract
– For example, a term sheet from a venture capital company that is
investing in an early-stage company may contain such details as: the
amount of investment, the percentage stake sought, anti-dilutive
provisions and valuation
• Used to prepare final agreement
– Binding (all terms are obligatory)
– Non binding (it guides, but is not necessarily binding the final terms of
their agreement)
Term sheet should include:
• Closing Date
• Investors
• Money raised (the investment)
• Price Per Share
• Pre-Money Valuation
• Capitalization (structure of capital)
• Additional Clauses (optionally):
– Dividends
– Voting Rights
– Drag-along rights („Pociągnięcie”)
– Tag-along rights („Przyłączenie”)
– Liquidation Preference
– Participation Preference
– Anti-dilutive
– Clawback
– ect.
