Q1. What are the different types of convertible instruments?
The most common types of convertible instruments are:
- Convertible notes: These are debt instruments that accrue interest and can be converted into equity at a predetermined price or discount upon meeting specific milestones.
- Convertible preferred stock (CCPS): These are a type of preferred stock that gives the holder the right to convert their shares into common stock at a predetermined price or exchange ratio.
Q2. What information do I need to provide for a convertible instrument valuation?
To get started with your valuation, we’ll need to see:
- The key details of your convertible instrument (conversion price, interest rate, maturity date)
- Your company’s recent financial statements
- Any relevant market information (like valuations of similar companies in your industry)
Q3. Do I need to have my financials audited before getting a convertible instrument valuation?
An audit is not always necessary for a valuation. We can work with your unaudited financials along with other supporting documents. However, if the convertible instrument is material to your company’s financial statements, an audit may be recommended.
