12 DEFINITION OF TERMS Preferred Stock - A class of capital stock that may pay dividends at a specified rate and that has priority over common stock in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets. Many venture capital investments use preferred stock as their investment vehicle. This preferred stock is convertible into common stock at the time of an IPO. Round of Financing The Series of Preferred or Common that is being authorized and issued in the current round. Round Direction Direction of the series preferred being issued based off of the current series issue price VS. the prior series issue price: UP = current round is priced HIGHER than the prior round FLAT = current round is priced the SAME as the prior round DOWN = current round is priced LOWER than the prior round Liquidation Preference the order at which the assets or funds are dispersed upon a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of a corporation, either voluntary or involuntary Senior - the Series of Preferred being issued is SENIOR in liquidation preference to all other Preferred Stock and Common Stock Pari Passu - the Series of Preferred being issued shares equally with one or more other Series of Preferred Stock but prior to the Common Stock Junior - the Series of Preferred being issued is JUNIOR to one or Series of Preferred N/A - Not Applicable is used if there is not a previous round of Preferred issued (EX: Series A round) Multiple of the Liquidation Preference The amount per share that a holder of a given series of Preferred Stock will receive prior to distribution of amounts to holders of other series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock based on the amount invested. This is usually designated as a multiple of the Issue Price, for example 2X or 3X. Type of Preferred Stock Preferred Stock - A Preferred stock in which the holder is entitled to receive the appropriate liquidation preference and after all payments have been made to the various Series of the Preferred Stock can participate in receiving any remaining funds or assets, on an as if converted basis, alongside the Common Stock shareholders. Conventional Convertible Preferred - non-, can convert to common and receive Pro Rata distribution, but CANNOT participate with the common on an as if converted basis. Liquidation Cap The Cap or Max Participation amount that the Preferred Stock can received when participating, usually designated as a multiple of the Issue Price, for example 2X or 3X. Anti-Dilution Contractual measures that allow investors to keep a constant share of a firm's equity in light of subsequent equity issues. These may give investors preemptive rights to purchase new stock at the offering price. Weighted Average - The investor's conversion price is reduced, and thus the number of common shares received on conversion increased, in the case of a down round; it takes into account both: (a) the reduced price and, (b) how many shares (or rights) are issued in the dilutive financing. Full Ratchet - The sale of a single share at a price less than the favored investors paid reduces the conversion price of the favored investors' convertible preferred stock "to the penny". For example, from $1.00 to 50 cents, regardless of the number of lower priced shares sold.

The index universe includes all US private companies with market valuations that are equal to or greater than $500 million. Component eligibility and price inputs are derived from publicly available information, such as federal filings (e.g., Form D), state filings (e.g., amendments to Certificates of Incorporation, Limited Offering Exemption Notices, Employee Plan Exemption Notices) and company disclosures (e.g., press releases, other public statements). The index calculation model is based on actual or derived prices of preferred stock and common stock, which are validated by the index operations team. Corporate actions, such as bankruptcies, stock splits, reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, and spinoffs are monitored on a daily basis. Index values are calculated for each day, but distributed on a weekly basis each Thursday. The index is reviewed and reconstituted on a quarterly basis on the third Wednesday of each January, April, July and October. For more detailed methodology information, please see the Prime Unicorn Index Methodology Guide. The Prime Unicorn Index was designed and developed by Lagniappe Labs and Level ETF Ventures Prime Indexes group. The Prime Unicorn Index Committee provides oversight of index calculation and maintenance, as well as ongoing evaluation of the index methodology and related rules.
