Investment Subscription Agreement
An Investment Subscription Agreement sets the terms for an investor‚ purchase of securities in a company or fund. This playbook addresses representations, closing conditions, and investor rights under applicable securities laws.
Events of Default
Negotiation strategy
Ensure that the events of default are clearly defined and include necessary cure periods. Advocate for materiality thresholds to avoid triggering defaults for minor issues.
Negotiate for reasonable cure periods and ensure that the events of default are not overly broad. Seek to include de minimis breach carve-outs to protect against minor infractions.
Essential elements
1
Payment Default
Failure to pay amounts due.
2
Breach of Covenants
Non-compliance with agreement terms.
3
Material Adverse Change
Significant negative impact on business.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if default triggers are too broad or lack cure periods.
EDIT
Reject if the clause includes unreasonable or non-negotiable terms.
ADD
Add language for materiality thresholds and de minimis breaches.
PRO TIP
Always ensure that cure periods are industry-standard and that materiality thresholds are appropriate for the borrower's financial health.
