As we mentioned in our Customer Alert dated July 12, 2018, depending on the conditions and circumstances surrounding the issuance of the SAFE, it seems likely that a SAFE should be treated as a prepaid futures contract or a continuous capital subsidy.4 Compared to the Pre-Money SAFE, the Post-Money SAFE contains features that further support its treatment as a tax action. In the typical SAFE arrangement, the company receives a fixed amount of cash upon entering into an agreement to deliver a certain number of shares or a lot of money at a future date, which varies greatly depending on the value of the shares on the settlement date. In addition, the investor has no dividends or voting rights in respect of these shares until the delivery of the shares. Therefore, it is unlikely that the benefits and expenses of owning these shares were transferred to the investor. SAFERs have certain uncertainties, including their tax treatment. Tax legislation is put in place for the treatment of equity and debt investments. SAFERs are neither. They are more like contract law, a “futures contract” in tax jargon. The consensus seems to be that a SAFE investment is not a taxable transaction and that the future conversion into equity at a triggering event is also not a taxable transaction. The consensus is that the purchase price of the SAFE will be transferred as a basis for future equity.
However, the IRS has not yet issued definitive guidance. It is an agreement between an investor and a company to invest in a company without setting maturity dates or declared interest rates. A SAFE can be considered a warrant, but not exactly – warrants are options to buy a certain number of shares at a predetermined price – whereas with SAFE, the price is not set in stone at the time of the conclusion of the contract. SAFE was developed by Y-Combinator to reduce some of the burden on founders and investors associated with convertible bonds (interest and legal implications of debt). SAFE agreements are designed to introduce simplicity for founders who raise capital at an early stage, while deferring the valuation to later stages. For legal reasons, convertible bonds are issued as an integrated security, as opposed to an investment unit consisting of separate or separable items. Federal income tax rules generally respect the integrated nature of convertible bonds and do not divide them into their components, although such an approach would align tax treatment with the underlying economy. There are circumstances where convertible bonds may be treated as equity rather than debt.
B s, for example, where the integrated call option is deeply anchored in the currency at issue and there is a very high probability that debt securities will be converted into shares, but this treatment is the exception rather than the rule, and we assume a debt treatment for the rest of this discussion. Although SAFE agreements are not debts in the traditional sense and can be argued in favour of registering them as equity; In practice, we see SAFE agreements as long-term debt. When it comes to registering SAFE agreements, there is no fixed rule. For GAAP financial statements, we have seen SAFE recognized as debt and equity. Determining the ideal registration method for your SAFE agreement may depend on the terms of the agreement and an auditor`s judgment. Since there is no interest to be taken into account, it is not necessary to account for accrued interest. While the terms of SAFE seem to make it clear that these are not debt instruments, the correct tax treatment of a SAFE is an open topic and often a complexity of a SAFE that is overlooked by investors and companies at the time of sale. Depending on the terms of the SAFE and the facts and circumstances relevant to its issuance, a SAFE must be treated as an equity futures contract or a variable prepaid futures contract from the perspective of U.S. federal income tax. LLCs that have not elected to be taxed as C corporations are taxed as partnerships or through corporations for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. SAFERs should probably be considered “non-compensatory” (non-commissioned officer) options for partnership tax purposes. The Treasury Regulations define non-compensatory options as “a contractual right to acquire an interest in the issuing company, with the exception of options issued in connection with the provision of services.” However, there is no definitive IRS authority for this position. If the IRS were to determine that SAFERs are not non-commissioned officers, this could lead to dangerous treatment, including the possibility that the IRS could treat the SAFE investor as a member of the LLC, which dates back to the issuance of the SAFE. This treatment would be supported by Article 5(c) of the SAFE, which states that the holder of the SAFE owns the Company`s equity for tax purposes and is entitled to the same dividends payable on the Company`s share capital. From an accounting point of view, care must be taken to ensure that none of the deposits are incorrectly recorded as turnover – surprisingly, this is more common than you might think. As accountants, we make many year-end adjustments to ensure that the movement of money from one location to another is properly recorded for financial statement disclosure and tax disclosure. It is also important to ensure that actual bank deposits are accompanied by convertible bond agreements, as bank/transfer fees can also lead to discrepancies. In addition to stock processing, the two remaining bottlenecks in which SAFERs could fit in are options and futures. In exchange for paying a premium, options offer the owner the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a property at a fixed price within a limited time. On the other hand, SAFERs do not include a premium, a fixed strike price or an expiry date.
They are fully prepaid and do not include the option. For these reasons, optional treatment is not a good choice. The remaining deposit accounts are futures contracts and, in particular, variable prepayment futures. Futures contracts are traded openly for tax purposes. There are no tax consequences for the parties at the time of conclusion of the contract, and the seller takes into account any amount received under the contract during the execution of the contract. The fact that part or all of the purchase price was prepaid under a futures contract does not alter its overall tax treatment. In 2003, the IRS issued a decision confirming the open tax treatment of variable prepaid futures. Just like convertible bonds, SAFE arrangements can have valuation caps and discounts. Most SAFE agreements are converted into preferred shares. Preferred shareholders have certain preferences for dividends over common shareholders as well as conversion rights. 1 See blog.ycombinator.com/announcing-the-safe-a-replacement-for-convertible-notes/ (accessed 20.04.2018) and www.ycombinator.com/documents/ (accessed 20.04.2018).2 Id.3 See Edward Zimmerman, “The Damaging Shortcuts Entrepreneurs Take When Raising Money,” The Wall Street Journal (30. April 2018) (“There is no doubt that safe and KISS documents are faster and cheaper – when the transaction is closed for the first time.
Unfortunately, this is no longer the case over time. In SAFE, KISS documents, and convertible bonds, often unresolved issues and issues that everyone banishes in side letters can make the next fundraiser more complicated and expensive, sometimes leading to negotiations detrimental to relationships at a time when the company is doing well. »). ۴ For example, convertible bonds may be treated as equity if the entity issuing these debt securities is a start-up entity and at the time of issuance it is unlikely to be able to repay the debt without a subsequent investment that would convert the debt.5 See blog.ycombinator.com/announcing-the-safe-a-replacement-for-convertible-notes/ (accessed 20.04.2018) and www.ycombinator.com/documents/ (accessed 20.04.2018).6 See, z.B.
