(Common information for next questions.) EBV is considering a $6M Series A investment in Newco. EBV proposes to structure the investment as 5M shares of convertible preferred stock. The founder and employees of Newco have claims on 10M shares of common stock. Thus, following the Series A investment, Newco will have 10M common shares outstanding and would have 15M shares outstanding on conversion of the CP. EBV estimates a 30 percent probability for a successful exit, with an expected exit time in 5 years and an exit valuation of $300M. The $100M EBV fund has annual fees of 2 percent for each of its 10 years of life and earns 20 percent carried interest on all profits. Assume the following: The cost of venture capital is 15%; GVM = 2.5; expected retention for first round investors is 50%. GP% = 10%. What is the proposed ownership at the time of investment? 16.65% 33.3% 40.0%
