Pay Preferred liquidation preference (OIP x multiple + accrued dividends). 2. Distribute remaining proceeds to Common only. 3. Permit each Preferred holder to elect conversion and share pro rata with Common if economically superior. ### Participating Preferred (with Cap) 1. Pay Preferred liquidation preference. 2. Share remaining proceeds pro rata among Preferred (as-converted) and Common. 3. Stop Preferred participation at the negotiated cap (for example, 3x OIP), then route excess proceeds to Common. ## Math Validation Pass - Test at low, mid, and high exit values. - Compare converted vs. non-converted outcomes for each series. - Verify no circular references in conversion calculations. - Confirm cap-table assumptions match transaction documents and board materials.
