Purchase Terms
Describe subscription amount, per-share price, payment method, escrow or wire instructions, closing date, and any conditions precedent to funding and issuance.
A well-drafted Subscription Agreement protects both issuer and investor by documenting price, quantity, representations, closing mechanics, and dispute terms. Clear provisions reduce ambiguity at closing and help ensure regulatory compliance related to securities transfer, anti-money laundering checks, and investor accreditation verification.
Parties involved often include the issuer's corporate counsel or finance team, the subscribing investor, and an administrative signer who coordinates closing.
Use clear delegation of signing authority and retain signature evidence to simplify post-closing recordkeeping and regulatory reporting.
An individual expressly authorized by the subscribing entity (officer, manager, or duly appointed agent) must sign. Verify delegation via corporate resolution or signed authorization to avoid invalidating the subscription.
For the issuer, an officer with delegated authority (CEO, CFO, or corporate secretary) signs acceptance and closing certificates. Maintain board minutes or resolutions evidencing authority to issue securities.
Describe subscription amount, per-share price, payment method, escrow or wire instructions, closing date, and any conditions precedent to funding and issuance.
Investor and issuer representations about authority, investment purpose, accredited status, valid organization, and absence of conflicting obligations.
List deliverables required at closing such as board approvals, officer certificates, and compliance with securities law filings or exemptions.
Specify legends, resale limitations, right of first refusal, and any lockup periods applicable to issued securities.
Allocate risk for misrepresentations and breach, set indemnification procedures, and limit monetary remedies where appropriate and enforceable.
Designate governing state law and dispute resolution mechanisms; choose the jurisdiction where enforcement and interpretation will occur.
Board resolutions, investor accreditation certificates, corporate formation documents, and closing certificates should accompany the subscription agreement.
Include investor questionnaire, subscription payment schedule, and any side letters or investor rights agreements as exhibits.
Provide the fully executed agreement in PDF/A for archiving, and in DOCX for internal edits or redlines where permissible.
Export signed copies for CRM, cap table software, and accounting systems using PDF or CSV formats as supported by each platform.
Electronic execution must meet legal standards for intent, consent, attribution, and retention under federal and state law.
Integrate signing with corporate workflows, storage, and transfer agent instructions to ensure a single authoritative executed copy is preserved for compliance and reporting.
