This document outlines a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) between a corporate investor and a start-up company. A SAFE is a flexible investment instrument that provides investors with an option to convert their investment into equity in the future, based on certain triggering events, such as an equity financing, a liquidity event, or a dissolution event.

This investment agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the investment, including the purchase amount, valuation cap, and the events that trigger conversion into equity. The document covers the following events: Equity Financing, Liquidity Event, Dissolution Event, and Termination. In the case of an equity financing, the company will issue shares of Standard Ordinary Shares or Safe Ordinary Shares based on pre-money valuation, and the investor will execute transaction documents and a Pro Rata Rights Agreement. If there is a liquidity event, the investor may receive a cash payment or shares of Ordinary Shares based on the Liquidity Price.

In the event of a dissolution event, the company will pay the Purchase Amount to the investor before distributing any assets to holders of outstanding Ordinary Shares. This early-stage investment agreement will terminate upon either the issuance of stock to the investor, payment of amounts due, or expiration of the agreement. The agreement also includes a list of defined terms, including Valuation Cap, Safe Price, and Liquidity Price.

A SAFE agreement is a type of funding agreement for start-ups, similar to a seed funding agreement or convertible note agreement, and is often used by early-stage companies that are not yet ready for a traditional equity financing round. This corporate investor agreement provides a straightforward way for investors to invest in a start-up and provides flexibility for both parties to determine the terms of their investment. The investment term sheet is structured to provide clarity and protection for investors and can be customised to meet the needs of the parties involved.
