Ready To Invest

Prior to the start of this Series A funding round, Oxford Seminars had already issued 50 million common shares. These shares are currently held by 9 Canadian investors, with Roger Radu Olanson and his sister Elena Olanson DeMeyer being the two largest investors.

Please note that Oxford Seminars is currently a proudly Canadian company, with 100% Canadian ownership, and with a wholly-owned US subsidiary, Oxford Seminars International Ltd.

With this Series A funding round, Oxford Seminars will be issuing 10 million Class A Preferred shares to investors. Class A Preferred shares give Series A investors benefits and protections that holders of common shares don't get, including anti-dilution protection, conversion rights, pro rata rights, liquidation preference, retraction rights, and directed share program access.

At the end of this Series A funding round, Oxford Seminars will issue a new updated Shareholders Agreement (SHA) for all existing shareholders to sign. The new SHA will include detailed information on:

• Anti-Dilution Protection — If later shares are issued at a lower price, the conversion ratio adjusts under a broad-based weighted average formula so Class A shareholders receive additional common shares on conversion, mostly offsetting any dilution of their original investment.
• Conversion Rights — Each Class A Preferred share is convertible into common shares at any time at the holder's discretion, initially on a one-to-one basis, subject to adjustment for share splits, consolidations, stock dividends, reorganizations, and anti-dilution events.
• Pro Rata Rights — Each holder of Class A Preferred shares has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase its pro rata share of any new securities Oxford Seminars issues in any subsequent private financing, based on the holder's percentage of all issued and outstanding shares at the time of issuance, subject to customary exceptions. This right terminates upon a qualified IPO or other exit event.
• Liquidation Preference — Class A shareholders to receive their initial investment back, at non-participating 1x preference, before any proceeds are distributed to common shareholders on a liquidation, dissolution, or deemed liquidation event.
• Class A Retraction Rights — Each holder of Class A Preferred shares may require Oxford Seminars to repurchase up to 5,000 of that holder's Class A Preferred shares in any 12-month period, subject to available capital. The repurchase price per share will be the greater of (a) the price the holder originally paid per share, or (b) 20 times Oxford Seminars' pre-tax profit for its most recently completed fiscal year, divided by the total number of issued and outstanding shares of all classes on the repurchase date.
• New Shareholders Portal — Access to a new secure online portal where shareholders can view their holdings, update their contact details, receive communications and notices from Oxford Seminars, and vote electronically at AGMs.
• Annual General Meeting — An annual general meeting of shareholders held in accordance with Oxford Seminars' by-laws and applicable corporate law, at which shareholders receive the annual financial statements, elect directors, and vote on other business brought before the meeting.
• Financial Reporting — Access to annual audited financial statements, to be delivered at the annual general meeting of shareholders, together with such other information as the Board may determine from time to time.
• Voting Rights — Class A Preferred shareholders vote together with common shareholders on an as-converted basis on all matters submitted to a vote.
• Board of Directors — Expansion of the board to nine members, including one nominee each from the three largest shareholders, as well as one nominee representing small shareholders.
• Directed Share Program — Commonly referred to as “friends and family program”, each holder of Class A Preferred shares to receive the opportunity to purchase future IPO shares from the underwriters at the IPO price.

Until the new SHA, all Class A Preferred shareholders will still be able to sell their shares back to Oxford Seminars, subject to available capital, at their original purchase price as detailed in www.oxfordseminars.ca/Series-A-Investment-Additional-Details.

Once VC's get involved in this Series A funding round, Oxford Seminars reserves the right to pause selling shares to any other investors until the accepted VC term sheet is fulfilled.

For each $500 investment, an investor will receive 100 Class A Preferred shares, at the price of $5 per share. Investors can make a larger investment, in 100 share increments, if they so choose. There are no discounts for investors who choose to make a larger investment.
