An Equity Line Commitment is a commitment for a PIPE available to the issuer in draw downs ( usually weekly or bi-weekly). For example if you have an equity line for $10,000,000 you may have draw downs between $50,000 and $200,000 each. The funds may be used in whole or in part entirely at the company’s discretion, subject to an effective registration.
We have equity lines available for US public companies, public companies listed on Frankfurt, and public companies listed anywhere in the world.
Here is a sample term sheet for a US public company:
