Series B Liquidation Preference Clause Samples
The Series B Liquidation Preference clause establishes the order and amount of payments that Series B investors receive if the company is liquidated, sold, or dissolved. Typically, this clause ensures that Series B shareholders are paid back their original investment (and sometimes a multiple of it) before any proceeds are distributed to holders of common stock or other junior securities. For example, if the company is sold, Series B investors would recoup their investment ahead of earlier investors and founders. The core function of this clause is to protect Series B investors by prioritizing their recovery of capital, thereby reducing their financial risk in downside scenarios.
