Convertible Note Cap Table in Iowa

Under Iowa law, the conversion of a convertible note into equity on a cap table is governed by the terms of the note itself, subject to the general corporate authority found in Iowa Code § 490.601. That statute authorizes a corporation to issue shares and set the terms for conversion, but it does not prescribe a specific formula or cap table structure for convertible notes. Instead, the calculation depends on the note’s specific conversion price, valuation cap, and discount rate as agreed between the parties. The official source at https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/code/490.601.pdf contains the full text of the statute.
