A note offering memorandum document is used universally to raise debt capital. A note by tradition has a maturity date of under 10 years. The document itself will layout the āofferingā terms, i.e. what the issuer or entrepreneur is offering investors for their capital (in the āmemorandumā, i.e. the document). The OM, as its also referred to, is used to obtain debt or equity funding and each OM should be specifically tailored for each business model and plan, especally for note issuance. Our team specializes in drafting and writing offering memorandum for note offerings. We haveĀ written, edited or assisted with hundreds of offering memorandums for private and public note issuance. Note offerings are a popular method to raise debt capital and indeed many note offerings will have issuers write a offering memorandum.
The note offering memorandum will outline the terms of the debt securities offering. For example, if the company is selling notes or notes, the offering memorandum will detail the terms of the offering such as the interest rate and maturity date, payment and coupon dates, convertible note or convertible note dates and terms, and many other factors. Thus, the writing of a offering memorandum can assist in expediting the capital raising process.

In addition, it is essentially a requirement for any issuer that wants to raise debt or equity capital to hand investors a offering memorandum. TheĀ note offering memorandumĀ will educate the investors and allow them to decide if the offer merits deeper thought or an investment. The document itself should tell the company story, both the product offerings and the securities being offered in detail, including the team behind the company, the terms of the securities, rules such as 144A/Reg S and more. Attached to anyĀ note offering memorandumĀ is the subscription agreement, which is the ācontractā between the issuer and the investor.
