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

4. Populate Default Remedies Matrix

| 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.
