Idea

Introduction

Many industries experience business critical computing processes that, requiring lots of computing power, often overrun and fail causing high costs to those businesses. These high performance computing (HPC) applications include rendering computer generated imagery, processing of risk, financial and actuarial models, and weather forecasts.

YellowDog aims to solve these problems with its leading Intelligent Predictive Scheduling and Orchestration Platform. This technology allows enterprises to:

• Reliably deliver HPC on demand whenever and wherever businesses need it
• Quickly and effectively deliver the multi-cloud enablement of applications
• Improve the cost effectiveness and efficiency, and the operational performance of compute-hungry applications that are running on premise, in the cloud or across both.

Convertible key terms

The key terms for this convertible are set out below and in the Convertible Key Terms document attached.

Conversion of the advanced subscription agreement will take place:

• On an equity fundraise of £2,000,000 or more, at a 50% discount to the lowest share price paid by investors in the equity fundraise. There is no valuation cap.

• If no qualifying equity fundraise has occurred, on the Longstop Date (which will be 6 months from the date of the agreement) at a share price of £2.87 (this was the share price of the company's last funding round and equates to a current company valuation of £13,950,711.20), or, if lower, the price of any share issued after the date of the advanced subscription agreement.

• If a change of control or IPO occurs prior to the above events, conversion will automatically trigger at a price per share which is the lowest price per share issued or sold as a part of an IPO or change of control, discounted by 50%.

• If a winding up event occurs prior to the above triggers, conversion will happen immediately prior to the winding up event at a share price of £2.87, or, if lower, the price of any share issued after the date of the advanced subscription agreement.

Preemption details

This campaign is to allow investors the ability to exercise their pre-emption rights on a £300k investment that YellowDog has raised so far offline by way of an advanced subscription agreement.

YellowDog also raised £500k at the start of the year by way of a convertible loan note from an institutional investor. Your pre-emption rights have been calculated on the total £800k of investment however the terms of the CLN vary from the ASA and has not been included in this round. The key terms for the CLN are as follows:

• Discount: 50%

• Valuation cap: the price per share based on a fully diluted pre-money valuation of £12,500,000.

• Longstop date: 24 months (Jan 2022)

• Qualifying financing round: £4,000,000

• Interest: 1% per month paid monthly in arrears

Conversion of the CLN will take place:

• On a qualifying financing round of £4,000,000 or more, at the lower of a) a 50% discount to the share price paid by investors in the round; and b) the price per share based on a fully diluted pre-money valuation of £12,500,000.

• On a non-qualifying financing round of less that £4,000,000 note holders have the right (but not the obligation) to convert at the lower of a) a 50% discount to the share price paid by investors in the round; and b) the price per share based on a fully diluted pre-money valuation of £12,500,000.

• If the CLN hasn't been converted before the longstop date, on or after the longstop date noteholders will have the right to convert at the share price set by the valuation cap.

• Under certain limited circumstances, including on a winding up event, the convertible loan notes will be immediately redeemed.

As this is a pre-emption campaign open only for existing shareholders, minimum details are being provided.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

This campaign for YellowDog has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 6 May 2020 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Tax Relief (SEIS)

This business is eligible for EIS relief - providing qualifying investors with income tax relief of 30% of their investment and certain other tax reliefs. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future. Click to learn more.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from Convertible

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Republic Europe.

Pitch type

Investing in a convertible campaign allows you to invest today, with your investment converting into equity in the future, at a discount compared to other investors.

Learn more about pitch type on Republic Europe

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Republic Europe campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).
