Common Questions

Understanding the mechanics of performance milestones.

How do Earnouts align incentives?
Founder earnouts are tranches of equity that only vest when the combined company's stock price reaches predetermined VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) milestones. This ensures founders are heavily incentivized to drive long-term shareholder value rather than just cashing out at the IPO.
What happens if the Sponsor Promote hurdle isn't met?
In the Meshflow structure, portions of the Sponsor Promote may be tied to aggressive performance hurdles. If the highest hurdles are never met, the Sponsor does not realize the full value, aligning them with public shareholders. Separately, public warrant redemptions are triggered at $18.00.
