Number of shares to be initially issued: c. Proposed initial stockholders and consideration: Name and Address Number of Shares Class of Stock Amount and Form of Consideration Describe Any Special Vesting Provisions: 2 Note that because Delaware corporate tax and annual franchise tax are based on the number of shares and the par value of the shares, it is advantageous for a corporation to have a relatively small number of shares and to assign a low par value to the shares (e.g., $0.0001). There are two methods for calculating annual franchise taxes: the Authorized Shares Method and the Assumed Par Value Capital Method. The method which results in the lesser tax may be used by the Company, but note that Delaware will initially send a report of taxes owed based on the Authorized Shares Method which is usually much higher than the alternative method for small thinly capitalized startup companies. Refer to Section 503 of the Delaware General Corporation Law for a more detailed explanation on how to calculate the annual franchise tax. The typical approach is to authorize a number of shares of common stock equal to the fully diluted pre-money valuation of the Company so that the Series A can be sold for $1.00 per share which has optical significance to VCs. This must be counterbalanced by the need to grant options in relatively large share amounts which has optical significance to employees. For example, if the pre-money valuation is likely to be less than $10 million, the Company will probably want to authorize a number of common shares equal to 2X (or some other round multiple) of the pre-money valuation, even though this will mean the Series A shares will be sold for less than $1.00 per share. 4
