Capital Call Notice

Formal notice demanding capital contributions under a governing agreement with investor-level calculations, payment mechanics, and default remedies.

Quick Start

Gather before drafting:

| Item | Detail | Source | |---|---|---| | Governing document | Full title, date, sections authorizing calls and remedies | LPA / Operating Agreement | | Notice period | Minimum days, delivery method, timing rule | Notice clause | | Allocation method | Pro rata or formula; side-letter deviations | Capital call provisions | | Call purpose | Investment/expense/reserve; permitted use basis | Investment memo / budget | | Default remedies | Interest rate, dilution/forfeiture, cure period | Default clause | | Wire instructions | Bank, ABA, SWIFT, account name/number | Treasury | | Fund/entity details | Legal name, GP/manager, signatory, address | Formation docs | | Investor schedule | Commitments, contributions to date, unfunded, ownership % | Fund admin |

Core Workflow

1. Build Capital Call Schedule

Attach as exhibit. One row per investor:

| Investor | Commitment | Contributed | Unfunded | Ownership % | Amount Due | Side Letter Notes | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | {Name} | {$} | {$} | {$} | {%} | {$} | {If any} |

2. Draft Calculation Statement

One paragraph stating: allocation formula, agreement compliance confirmation, aggregate call amount, and total fund commitment base.

3. Draft Notice Letter

5. Confirm Delivery

State the delivery method required by the notice clause. Verify delivery address or email on record matches agreement requirements.

Pitfalls

• Cite exact section numbers from the governing agreement — never paraphrase.
• Use full month names for dates; always specify time zone for deadlines.
• Do not exceed authorized purposes; tie each use to the agreement.
• Apply side-letter modifications only to the applicable investor; keep other terms confidential.
• State remedies verbatim from the agreement; include cure periods and required follow-up notices.
• Verify signatory authority and entity names against formation docs.
• Do not disclose non-public deal terms unless permitted.
• Confirm delivery method complies with notice provisions and any electronic delivery requirements.
• Mirror governing law and jurisdiction — do not introduce new terms.
• Cross-check arithmetic: amounts must be consistent across letter body and schedule.
