Offering structure
The transaction is being conducted as part of a secondary purchase of an existing direct cap table position of Perplexity Preferred A Shares, priced at a $20 billion post-money valuation, $695.44 price per share.
Investors will participate through the second-layer SPV (DCP PP IX, a Series of CGF2021 LLC). This vehicle serves as the direct entry point for investors. It charges a 3% upfront and one-time management fee and no carried interest. Investors will pay an organization fee (pro-rata)*, for fund formation and ongoing fund administration services. Capital from this SPV will flow into the first-layer vehicle.
The first-layer SPV charges a upfront and one-time 7.5% management fee and no carried interest. The first-layer SPV will sit directly on Perplexity's cap table.
Republic’s registered broker-dealer, Capital R (OpenDeal Broker LLC), is acting as the placement agent for this offering. For its role in placing investors into the second-layer SPV, Capital R will charge a 8% placement fee.
Investors are effectively purchasing a stake in Perplexity at the stated $20 billion post-money valuation ($695.44/share), before Republic’s placement fee or any management fees incurred at the first and second layer vehicles. After factoring in the 8% placement fee, 3% management fee (upfront and one-time) at the second layer, and the 7.5% management fee (upfront and one-time) at the first-layer, the effective entry valuation for investors is ~$24.6B post-money valuation, $843.30/share.
This two-tier structure is designed to provide investors with transparent access to a highly sought-after private company while concentrating costs in upfront, one-time fees to minimize ongoing expenses.
