Post-Close Governance.
The board composition, voting rights, information rights, and protective provisions that govern the post-close entity.
How Post-Close Governance actually gets done.
Build a board with sponsor majority, one LP-elected seat, and one independent.
Define LP protective provisions narrowly, focused on dilution, exit, and related-party transactions.
Set information rights at monthly financial and quarterly board-level updates.
Plan the annual budget approval cadence so the sponsor can run the business.
Negotiating governance like a fund LPA. independent sponsor governance has to be lighter and faster.
"Governance design decides whether the operator runs the company or files reports."Jason Powell · Post-Close Governance
