Crowdinvesting ist echt frustrierend.
Möchte nicht wissen wie viel Geld die im Management verbrannt haben
Mein Geld ist ja nicht weg. Es ist nur woanders...

Das ist nicht schön. Was genau hatte es mit diesem Investment auf sich?
Den Laden gibt es doch noch. Hat Lloyd das Invest einfach vereinnahmt?
Depending on the investment round and year, Crowdcube investors hold either Ordinary Shares or B Ordinary Shares in the Company. During an exit event, the proceeds are distributed according to a strict hierarchy known as the distribution waterfall. In this hierarchy, certain investors, typically those who participated in later funding rounds (e.g. institutional funds), may hold Preference Shares which grant them a Liquidation Preference.
This means they are contractually entitled to receive their investment capital back (and sometimes a multiple of it) before any money is distributed to Ordinary Shareholders, like those who invested via Crowdcube.
In this acquisition, the purchase price is only sufficient to satisfy the claims of some Preference Shareholders. The transaction proceeds are anticipated to be allocated among:
Certain private and VC/Corporate investors
Members of the company’s management team including the Founder
The residual value will be zero once these prior claims are settled. In practical terms, this means that your investment in the Company through the Crowdcube Nominee will not result in any financial return and should be considered a loss.
