This Simple Agreement for Future Equity (this "SAFE") evidences an agreement between Thagorus PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation (the "Company"), and the investor named above (the "Investor"). The Company intends to use the proceeds of this SAFE (and other SAFEs with substantially similar terms) to fund ongoing research and development, team-building, and design partner acquisition.

1. Events

1.1 Equity Financing. If there is an Equity Financing before the termination of this SAFE, the Company will automatically issue to the Investor a number of shares of Safe Preferred Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Conversion Price.

The "Conversion Price" means the lesser of: (a) the Safe Price, or (b) the Discount Price. In the event of a conflict, the calculation that results in a greater number of shares issued to the Investor shall control.

"Safe Price" means the price per share equal to the Post-Money Valuation Cap divided by the Company Capitalization.

"Discount Price" means the lowest price per share of the Standard Preferred Stock sold in the Equity Financing multiplied by the Discount Rate (80%).

1.2 Liquidity Event. If there is a Liquidity Event before the termination of this SAFE, the Investor will, at their election, receive a cash payment equal to the Purchase Amount (to the extent not previously returned to the Investor) or receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price, as applicable.

The "Liquidity Price" means the price per share equal to the Post-Money Valuation Cap divided by the Liquidity Capitalization.

1.3 Dissolution Event. If there is a Dissolution Event before the termination of this SAFE, the Company will pay an amount equal to the Purchase Amount to the Investor prior to making any payment to holders of outstanding Capital Stock (to the extent such assets are available for distribution).

2. Definitions

  3. No registration.
