A Convertible Note is a simple promissory note, usually bearing interest and payable at some future date. The unique aspects of a convertible note are:
A. It converts into equity in the company so long as certain agreed metrics are achieved;
B. Conversion rather than repayment is the usual intention of the parties
C. The usual events for conversion (a conversion event) could be some or all of:
1. Later financing acquired of an agreed minimum level;
2. Developmental milestones reached by the company; and/or
3. Strategic partnerships concluded with important companies;
The conversion into equity is usually at a valuation that is consistent with the valuation agreed to with investors in an investment round that occurs at a later time.
