One million (1,000,000) shares of stock were issued to the founders of a start-up company on January 1, 2019.   On July 1, 2019, the firm raised $500,000 from outside investors and issued 500,000 of convertible preferred stock with a conversion price of $1 per share (ROUND 1). At the time capital was raided, the investors insisted on a FIVE YEAR vesting schedule for the founders’ initial equity interest, with vesting on a monthly basis (1/60 of the founders’ interest vests each month); and weighted average anti-dilution protection in the case of a subsequent DOWN ROUND. Operations during the first eighteen months have been sluggish, and the company needs additional capital to continue operations and grow the firm’s sales and value. A second set of outside investors is willing to provide $1,300,000 in return for 2,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock (ROUND 2). For purposes of this problem, today is July 1, 2020. How many shares will Round 1 investors get if they convert their interest to common stock?
