Idea

Preemption details

The company has raised a total of £60,000 from existing shareholders and new investors. This campaign gives Seedrs investors the ability to take their pre-emption rights in the round.

Please note that the pre-money valuation includes conversion of the company's existing convertible loans (more details below) and a 20% option pool post-money.

As this is a pre-emption campaign limited information is provided and, while the target is set at the maximum the company is looking to raise, we will release funds even if the company raises less. More information can be found by reviewing the business's post investment page. This information has not been reviewed or approved by Seedrs.

Conversion of existing convertible loans

The company has the following convertible loans in place, which will convert on completion of this round:

- £500,000 convertible loan note from January 2020 with an interest rate of 1% per month and discount of 50%. Both principal loan and accrued interest will convert at a 50% discount.

- £500,000 Future Fund convertible loan note from June 2020, with an interest rate of 12% per annum and discount of 50%. The principal loan will convert at a 50% discount but the accrued interest will convert at the price of this round, i.e. £1.

- £1,000,000 convertible loan note from October 2020 with an interest of 1% per month and discount of 50%. Both principal loan and interest will convert at a 50% discount. Seedrs investors were offered the opportunity to participate in this convertible loan round earlier this year, and those who did will be issued shares on conversion.

The three convertible loans total £2,000,000 with accrued interest of £200,614 up to the estimated conversion date of 18 June 2021.

New convertible loan

Together with this equity round, the Company is also raising £1m by way of a convertible loan note from Creditforce Limited.

Creditforce has subscribed for convertible loan notes of £500,000, and have the right to subscribe for four further tranches of loan notes of £125,000 each before 30 May 2022.

The key terms of the loan notes are as follows:
- 1% interest rate
- Conversion price of £1
- Maturity Date of 11 June 2023
- Redeemable upon on a winding up event or at the option of Creditforce on (i) material breach by the Company of the convertible loan agreement, (ii) the Maturity Date.
- Automatic conversion into shares on an equity financing raising at least £4m.
- Creditforce may opt to convert the loan into equity on (i) an equity financing raising less than £4m, (ii) an exit event or (iii) the Maturity Date.

If converted, this new convertible loan will dilute existing shareholders.

Runway

The initial £500,000 convertible loan note investment from Creditforce has provided the company with runway for the next four months.

The £60k investment from this round is expected to give the company runway until the end of October 2021.

Share classes

The company has 2 classes of shares, Ordinary Shares and Ordinary A Shares.

Ordinary A Shares carry a 1x non-participating preference. On an exit or liquidation event, if pro rata distribution amongst all shareholders would result in the Ordinary A shareholders receiving less than their original price paid per share, the proceeds will first be distributed to the Ordinary A shareholders until they receive their original price paid per share, before the balance is distributed to the ordinary shareholders.

To date, only the Company's institutional investor, Bloc Ventures, have held Ordinary A Shares. All other shareholders, including Seedrs, have held Ordinary Shares which are EIS-eligible.

Conversion of the convertible loans mentioned above will result in convertible investors holding Ordinary A Shares and direct investors in this round may be issued Ordinary A shares.

Seedrs investors investing in this round will be issued Ordinary shares which are eligible for EIS relief.

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 17 June 2021 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)

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £10,481,678

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 regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

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).

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Republic Europe will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Republic Europe will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Republic Europe will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

If available, this is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Republic Europe. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
