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

Dilution/forfeiture	Failure to cure	§{##}	Formula, timing

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.
