VC Experts


VC Experts constantly tracks investments and developments of private companies, and we frequently come across bits of information that require more evaluation and insight. Box, Inc. filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation today (July 7, 2014) authorizing a new Series F Preferred stock. The new round authorized 7,500,000 shares of Series F Preferred stock at $20.00/share, totaling an investment of $150M. The terms of this new round of financing puts Series F on top of the Liquidation Stack with 1x return plus $3.00 per year that accumulates quarterly. There are also some special conversion rights for the Series F, as well as a board seat for the Series F. Click below to view the certificate.

"The Series F would get their money back, plus some if an exit happened at a lower valuation. If the valuation is high enough, then all would convert to common and participate on the same level. It depends on what the exit price is to build the waterfall. If they go public, then they would convert to common, but they (Series F) do have a “special conversion” section in this latest cert."

-Justin Byers, Director, Business Intelligence, VC Experts

"Box just acquired Streem, a Y-Combinator startup focused on letting you get to all of your content in the cloud, right on your desktop. As well as they just introduced Box Notes, a note taking tool built right into the Box site. This could be the final push to get those two applications running seamlessly before an IPO."

-Amanda Akin, Business Intelligence Analyst, VC Experts
