Series Seed Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

Description
Series Seed financing can be defined as when investment in the company is exchanged for preferred stock. If you have preferred stock, your dividends must be paid to you before that of common shareholders. However, if you have preferred shares you have sacrificed your voting rights.

Preferred stock pays fixed dividends and has also the potential to appreciate in price. That is to say, it combines features of debt and equity.

Preferred stock usually yields more than common stock, and it can be paid every month or every quarter. The dividends are fixed or set according to a benchmark interest rate. The dividend yield is influenced by adjustable-rate shares, and participating shares are able to pay more dividends that calculated by common stock dividends or business profits.

This is a template for agreeing on preferred stock purchases for your company to use when working with investors.
