Pro rata: the money to keep your percentage

An investor owns part of the company before a new round. See what it owns if it buys nothing, if it buys its pro rata, and what it must buy to stay level.

The investor owns 10% before the round. The new money buys 20% of the company ($20M ÷ $100M). If the investor buys nothing, it goes to 8%.

Its pro rata amount is 10% × $20M = $2M. That buys exactly its part of the new shares, so it stays at 10%.
