TRANSACTION OVERVIEW Sequoia India Advisors Pvt Ltd proposes to lead a Series A financing round in SkyTech Innovations Pvt Ltd, an early- stage B2B SaaS company based in Mumbai India. Investment Amount: INR 8,00,00,000. Pre-Money Valuation: INR 32,00,00,000. Proceeds will be deployed toward product development, enterprise sales expansion, and team growth. 2. DEFINITIONS 2.1 Lead Investor: Sequoia India Advisors Pvt Ltd. 2.2 Company: SkyTech Innovations Pvt Ltd. 2.3 Round Amount: INR 8,00,00,000. 2.4 Pre-Money Valuation: INR 32,00,00,000. 2.5 Post-Money Valuation: INR 40,00,00,000. 2.6 Series A Preferred: Series A Preference Shares issued to investors in this round as described in Section 5. 2.7 Liquidation Preference: 1x non- participating as described in Section 6. 2.8 Option Pool Shuffle: The creation of the employee option pool pre-investment which dilutes founders rather than investors as described in Section 4. 2.9 Pay-to-Play: Provision requiring investors to participate pro-rata in future rounds or face conversion of preferred rights as described in Section 9. 2.10 Drag-Along: The obligation on minority shareholders to sell on terms approved by a 75 percent majority as described in Section 16. 2.11 Co-Sale: Lead Investor's right to participate in founder share sales as described in Section 15. 2.12 Exclusivity Period: 45 days from signing as described in Section 19. 2.13 Governing Law: Laws of Maharashtra India. 3. FINANCING AMOUNT AND VALUATION 3.1 Proposed Round Amount: INR 8,00,00,000 led by Sequoia India Advisors Pvt Ltd. 3.2 Pre-Money Valuation: INR 32,00,00,000. 3.3 Post-Money Valuation: INR 40,00,00,000. 3.4 Lead Investor Ownership Post-Closing: 20 percent fully diluted including 15 percent option pool. 3.5 Option Pool: A 15 percent employee stock option pool will be created as part of this financing. The option pool is created pre-investment on a post-money basis. 3.6 Option Pool Shuffle Explained: The 15 percent option pool is carved from the pre-money cap table. This means founders are diluted by the option pool before the Investor's investment is calculated. In practice this reduces the effective pre-money valuation for founders. Note: This mechanics must be modeled and confirmed with a qualified attorney and financial advisor. 4. SECURITIES 4.1 Sequoia India Advisors Pvt Ltd will receive Series A Preference Shares in SkyTech Innovations Pvt Ltd. 4.2 Series A Preference Shares carry: 1. 1x non-participating liquidation preference as described in Section 6. 2. Conversion to ordinary shares at 1:1 ratio adjustable for anti- dilution. 3. Voting rights on an as-converted basis. 4. Non-cumulative dividend right pari passu with ordinary shares. 4.3 Note: The structure of Series A Preference Shares in an Indian private limited company must comply with the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI regulations. A qualified Indian VC attorney must confirm before any shares are issued. 5. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE AND PARTICIPATION 5.1 Sequoia India Advisors Pvt Ltd receives a 1x non-participating liquidation preference. 5.2 Plain Language Liquidation Waterfall: On any exit acquisition or winding-up: Step 1: Sequoia India Advisors Pvt Ltd receives INR 8,00,00,000 being the full 1x investment back. Step 2: All remaining proceeds are distributed to ordinary shareholders including founders pro-rata. Step 3: At a high enough exit value Sequoia India Advisors Pvt Ltd may choose to convert to ordinary shares if its pro-rata share of total proceeds exceeds the 1x preference amount. 5.3 Note: Liquidation preference economics are among the most significant terms in any VC investment. This must be modeled with a qualified financial advisor and attorney. 6. ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION 6.1 Series A Preference Shares carry broad- based weighted average anti-dilution. 6.2 In plain language: If SkyTech Innovations Pvt Ltd issues new shares in a future round at a price below INR per share implied by the INR 32,00,00,000 pre-money valuation, the conversion ratio of the Series A Preference Shares is adjusted to give more ordinary shares on conversion. The broad-based formula includes all outstanding shares and the option pool in the weighted average calculation, making it less aggressive than a full ratchet or narrow-based formula. 6.3 The Three Mechanisms in Plain Language: Full Ratchet: Most aggressive. Converts as if the investor had paid the lower price. Rarely used in Indian market. Broad-Based Weighted Average: Standard market practice. Adjusts partially. Narrow-Based: Less common. Adjusts more than broad-based. 6.4 Note: Anti-dilution provisions under Companies Act 2013 must be confirmed with a qualified attorney. 7. DIVIDENDS 7.1 Series A Preference Shares carry a non-cumulative dividend right payable only when declared by the board, pari passu with ordinary shareholders on an as-converted basis. 7.2 In plain language: No dividend accumulates if not paid. The Investor receives dividends only if the board declares them, which is unusual for early-stage companies. 8. PAY-TO-PLAY 8.1 Pay-to-play applies in this round. Any investor who fails to participate at their pro-rata share in a future qualifying financing round will have their Series A Preference Shares converted to ordinary shares and will lose their anti-dilution, protective provision, and other preferred rights. 8.2 Plain Language: Pay-to-play incentivizes existing investors to continue supporting the Company in future rounds. Investors who do not participate lose their economic protections. This helps the Company raise future rounds without holdout investors blocking terms. 8.3 Note: Pay-to-play mechanisms under Companies Act 2013 must be confirmed with a qualified attorney. 9. BOARD COMPOSITION 9.1 Post-Closing board of SkyTech Innovations Pvt Ltd: 1. 2 directors appointed by Sequoia India Advisors Pvt Ltd. 2. 2 founder directors: Arjun Kapoor and Priya Sharma. 3. 1 mutually agreed independent director. Total: 5 board seats. 9.2 Co-investors above 5 percent ownership receive board observer rights. 9.3 Each party appoints and removes its nominees by written notice. 9.4 Note: Board composition under Companies Act 2013 including independent director requirements must be confirmed with a qualified attorney. 10.
