Participation
Participating preferred stock returns its investment and
then shares pro rata in proceeds of a sale
Non-participating convertible preferred stock either gets a
return of its investment or its pro rata share of proceeds
Participation may be capped at a multiple of the
investment
Conversion to common – auto-conversion and majority
vote

53. © 2020 Haynes and Boone, LLP© 2020 Haynes and Boone, LLP
Dividends
Preferred will have a dividend preference.
A cumulative dividend on preferred shares must be paid
before any other dividends on common.
o If the company can't pay out a cumulative dividend in a
year, the amount is carried forward.
o Common in private equity deals, not in venture
Non-cumulative is only paid when as and if declared.
