Endeca Technologies (A)
Synopsis
Steve Papa, CEO of Endeca Technologies, must decide among two term sheets raising the same amount of badly needed money for his young software company. One deal is led by insiders and, is offered at a lower price. It continues a board that has worked very well and shares a common vision. It also is likely to involve a very important potential customer. The second offer comes from a group with which Papa does not have history. Although it carries a higher price, it will change the board structure and also requires that the closing be delayed a week, from September 7, 2001, to September 14. The company has cash only into October so, if anything goes wrong, Papa is unlikely to be able to arrange alternate financing. Discusses which option he should accept.
