Convertible Note Cap Table in New Jersey

Under New Jersey law, the treatment of a convertible note on a cap table is governed by N.J.S.A. 14A:7-1, which addresses the issuance of convertible securities and their conversion into shares. This statute provides the legal framework for determining how and when convertible notes enter the equity structure, typically converting upon a qualified financing or maturity event. The statute sets out the conditions under which conversion rights attach and the resulting adjustments to ownership percentages. The exact impact on a cap table depends on the note’s specific terms, such as conversion price and valuation cap, so the calculation varies per agreement. The official source at the New Jersey Legislature contains the full statutory language. For an estimate of how a convertible note would affect a specific cap table, use the DocketMath calculator.
