Convertible Loan Note Instrument
A standard document that governs the creation and issuance of convertible loan notes for a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. This instrument is designed to be used as a form of bridging finance before a subsequent equity financing round. The document establishes the terms for the debt securities, which can be issued on either a secured or unsecured basis, and rank pari passu among themselves. It outlines the critical conditions for the automatic conversion of the notes into shares, triggered by events such as a qualifying fund raising or a change of control. The standard document also details the circumstances under which noteholders may elect for conversion or redemption, and sets out the procedures for interest payments, meetings of noteholders, and the transfer of notes.
