ROI & Waterfall
Equity Investors are in First Position to recoup at a rate of 95/5 from dollar 1. Production retains 5% from dollar 1 to cover SAG residuals and additional marketing expenses. After Investors recoup 120% of principal, equity sharing ensues. Ownership is split 50/50 between Investors (on a pro rata basis) and Producers. Any 3rd party back end participants comes from the Producer’s 50%. Development investors (up to $150,000 USD) will see a 40% premium return payable upon greenlight financing and be offered a first refusal of production equity investment.
