Anti-dilution

Anti-dilution is a type of provision in an equity financing agreement that protects investors from downward price adjustments. When a company raises money through the sale of equity, the price per share is set at the time of the transaction. However, if the company subsequently raises additional funds through the sale of equity at a lower price per share, the original investors may be “diluted” in terms of their ownership stake and voting power.
