Anti-dilution provisions
Protecting your investment

вот предложение:
For those who decided not to contribute any more capital, there was a general acceptance that further finance would need to be injected into these companies from third parties, often at a significant discount to the price the original investor had paid.

general acceptance здесь просто общее соглашение или подписанный акцепт?

Спасибо!
