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.
Why This Matters: Clear termination clauses avoid uncertainty and costly disputes if the parties’ relationship sours. Knowing exit rights and costs helps parties manage risk and make informed business decisions.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Company:
Ensure that termination rights are clearly defined to protect the company's interests. Negotiate for reasonable notice and cure periods to allow for potential resolution of issues before termination.
If you're the Investor:
Seek to include provisions that allow for fair compensation in the event of termination. Ensure that the notice and cure periods are sufficient to address any alleged breaches.
