Term Sheet

An Equity Term Sheet outlines key investment terms for a company’s equity under the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI regulations (for listed firms). It covers valuation, equity stake, investor rights (e.g., board seats, veto, anti-dilution) and filings like Form PAS-3 for share allotments. While largely non-binding, clauses like confidentiality may be enforceable. 

Novam Legal crafts investor-ready term sheets, guiding you to binding agreements (e.g., Shareholders’ Agreement, Subscription Agreement) with clarity and compliance, minimizing disputes and accelerating deals. Here’s how a Term Sheet delivers value for your business:
