- Preparing a pro forma cap table with scenarios in different tabs to demonstrate outcomes to key stakeholders and facilitate informed negotiation
- Partnering with outside counsel to negotiate a term sheet that works for all stakeholders, looking out for trending terms for management top-ups and secondary tranches
- Working with small group to prepare disclosure schedules
- Keeping the existing stakeholders aligned on the process to bring in the new investors
Topics Diamond discussed included deal terms and post-COVID key issues for strategic buyers and how to stay agile in a changing deal environment, including:
