Liquidity Events with Multiple SAFEs
摘要
This chapter studies the effect of a liquidity event on holders of SAFEs. Pre-money SAFEs provide holders with a choice of action, which results in a situation where the value a SAFE holder receives can be dependent on the choices of other SAFE holders. This situation is analyzed as a game and it is shown that the game has an optimal pure-strategy Nash equilibrium. This game is also used to analyze post-money SAFEs and it is shown that the formulation of payout as a maximum in these SAFEs is well-defined. However, when both pre-money and post-money SAFEs are present, the game may not have a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium. Finally, the distribution of dividends for post-money SAFEs is assessed.
