Obligations
00% represents a meaningful economic divergence that must be resolved before the transaction can proceed
As discussed in Section V below, the treatment of this option pool expansion — whether it is borne by existing stockholders (pre-money treatment) or shared with Pinnacle (post-money treatment) — is itself a valuation issue that adds a hidden layer to the headline valuation gap and must be resolved as part of the overall negotiation
75% without any ESOP expansion, the pre-money valuation must be at $260,000,000 or below
Any expansion of the Company's ESOP must be included in the pre-money capitalization, consistent with the "option pool shuffle" convention and NVCA model document practice
Pinnacle's full protective provision package — including board representation, consent rights on specified actions, information rights, and registration rights — must be agreed upon as part of the overall economic package
This is a time-sensitive dynamic that the Company must weigh
