Chapter 1 - Summary of Capital AIDS Bond Offering
I have been building capitals for close to a year now, and in that time I have also built several motherships for alliance members. I am looking to utilize my experience as well as my already substantial capital blueprint collection as collateral to secure a 40b isk bond at 5% interest monthly for six months. Funds will be used to purchase additional blueprints, as well as other assets to be used in producing motherships for resale on eve-o. Read on for more details.
Chapter 2 - Personal Background
I started this game many years ago by selling a couple of timecards(they were cheaper in those days), and using the proceeds to buy the full set of cruiser blueprints to sell to my alliance. Since then I have produced a lot of items ranging from T1 hulls of all sizes, including too many battleships to cound, and thousands of T2 modules. More recently with the wormholes expansion, I founded a small group of investors, explorers, and industrialists to focus on the new space. In March this group was able to build 14 of the 29 T3 hulls built in the game. When jump freighters were introduced, I had built one of the first ones on the market.
At one point or another, I've done just about everything there is related to science and industry in this game. I come with a vast amount of experience, and have a very deep understanding of not just the core mechanics of how the game operates, but also the financial side on how to make a business profitable.
Chapter 3 - Corporate Overview & Security Provisions
I am the CEO of Capital AIDS. From time to time I may rely on others to help out in my business, however they will generally have limited access to corp assets, and no wallet access.
The bond will be backed by capital ship, component, and module blueprints that will be locked down by Chribba. Kazuo Ishiguro will be receiving your investments, and then the blueprints will be locked down by Chribba. Once locked down, Chribba will notify Kazuo of their status, and Kazuo will forward isk to myself. At no point will I have access to your isk before the blueprints are fully locked down. The NPC value of the blueprints in lockdown will exceed the value of the bond by 10%. |

Chapter 4 - The 0.0 Question
Yes, these blueprints will be locked down in 0.0. First, let me state that 0.0 is a dangerous place, there's no question about that. What I can tell you is that all blueprints will be safely stored in a secure sov 4 system. While it is very unlikely that the system will be conquered, I cannot say that it won't be for certain. Offices can be rented for 30 day periods, and can be paid 30 days in advance. What this means is that even if they region is conquered, I will have some time to evacuate what I can, and at least 30-60 days to unlock the blueprints and safely transport them out. Under the worst case scenario, the npc value of blueprints locked down will exceed the bond amount. This means that the blueprints could be unlocked in the 30 day window and sold off to a conquering alliance at a discount and investors would still be repaid in full. I feel reasonably confident that even under the worst of cases investors would not be at significant risk of losing their investment.
I can say this with reasonable confidence because I have recent experience with this. Earlier this year my alliance bid a hasty farewell to our old space, and I needed to evacuate my business from there in a hurry. While some assets were too bulky to take with me, all the blueprints were moved safely, and the larger items were eventually sold to the new inhabitants. Some asset value was lost in this process, but I was able to quickly get my business up and running again in a new region, and rebuild the lost value very quickly. All debt obligations were able to be met even in light of the extreme nature of events and lost business.
Chapter 5 - The Business Plan
My current capital production consists of building 3 dreads and 2 carriers per week. I have in the past built motherships by offering alliance mates below market prices in exchange for paying the full cost before production began. This bond will enable me to build motherships for sale on eve-o, without needing to offer lower prices. I believe this market has a lot of room in it, and combined with my experience at efficient production means I will do quite well. Additionally, I can, and likely will use the funds to also expand my dread and carrier production capacity.
My current monthly interest payments for existing debt is 2.5b. All of that is at rates substantially higher than the bond offering, and some will be paid off. Following the bond offering I expect to have a debt to asset ratio of around .5, and profits from the dread/carrier business alone will be enough to meet the interest payments from existing loans plus the bond payments. Any profits beyond that would be mine to make.
Chapter 6 - Statement of Assets
Kazuo has already audited my financial information, and can confirm that I have assets in line with the statements below.
Capital Blueprints: 38b*
Capital Components: 13.5b
Capital Ships: 13.5b
Capital Modules/Fighters: 3b
Minerals: 18.5b
Towers & Mods: 4.2b
Liquid Isk: 3b
*Valued at NPC sales price. Isk from this offering will be used to purchase additional blueprints to bring the value over 44b isk. At no point will I have access to more isk than the npc value of locked blueprints.
Total Assets: 93.7b
Total Existing unsecured liabilities are 47.4b, of which 10b is an interest free gift from a friend serving in the Army, and 18.5b of short-term loans. As stated, all of these are at rates significantly higher than the bond offering, and some will be repaid to lower my borrowing costs. |

Chapter 7 - I'm a Goon and I like it
Yes, I'm a Goon. First, given our history I have undertaken many steps to make sure this is as secure as possible, both for myself and for investors. I understand some will stop right here(ok, they didn't even get this far), and not invest. That's fine with me, this section isn't for those investors. The fact of the matter is I wouldn't be where I am today without Goonswarm, and I am not going to abandon them.
For those of you on the fence, let me just say that I have *always* taken care of my investors. Sophie Daigneau is my main science/industry character, and the only one I post with here on eve-o. On goonfleet.com, I post with niarT epaR, and frequent GFGBS under "niart". If you are an ally, or even have a spy alt, feel free to check out my sales thread on our forums.
Finally, for those of you still on the fence, I am using Chribba as a middleman for a reason. One, I can trust him, but more importantly, as a supercapital producer I am going to find a very short customer list if I attempt in any way to scam you, and in turn him.
Chapter 8 - Bond Details
Shares Offered: 4,000 (4 thousand)
Share Par Value: 10,000,000 (10 million)
Total Bond Value: 40,000,000,000 (40 billion)
Monthly Interest: 5% of Par value, or 500,000 per share
Term: 6 Months from date of issue
All isk will be sent to Kazuo Ishiguro with the description "CAIDS BOND", where I will not have access to it. Once Chribba has confirmed that the blueprints are locked down, Kazuo will release the isk to myself. Kazuo will also supply me with the list of investors, and I will distribute shares accordingly. Shares will be distributed from CAIDS Investments [CAI.B] and all dividends will come from this corp.
Chapter 9 - Bond Closing Details
The bond will run for six months from issue. After that time I will either repay all investors, or refinance the terms for a longer period. If I chose not to refinance, isk will be repaid to investors, and upon confirmation, Chribba will unlock the blueprints for me.
I understand circumstances change, and as such I will offer an early withdrawal option of 90% par value for anyone wishing to have their money returned before the 6 months term is up. This is subject to my having liquidity, and upon notification from any investor I will seek other financing alternatives if necessary to have their isk repaid promptly. Please do not send any shares to myself until you have positive confirmation back. |

Update: Err, I see that a formal audit isn't pending. Not a real problem (for me), but can we get Chribba in here to confirm his part of the transaction?

can you post a skill link to the character(s) that will be building the ships and components to show you have the ability to build them. I am assuming but would like verified that the POS components contain the necessary array to build the ships.
*edited bit*
BTW nicely laid out plan and description - with those two items added all it needs is the reply from the lock down and it looks golden for a launch.

I haven't yet seen many details of the characters doing the building, but the corp of which Sophie's alt is CEO has a mothership currently in production (at a location which I will not divulge), as well as a large number of dreadnoughts, carriers and component build jobs. |

A quick off the top of my head listing of pos parts includes at least one large tower, some component arrays, a CSAA, CSMA, a couple labs, and a handful of the other assembly arrays. |

Pfft.. It's obviously a scam, I mean just look at it:
It doesn't have an audit *voice in background* Oh..oh ok so it has had an unofficial audit done by a respected MD member.
Well...You could always run off with it still!! *background voice* Oh, the BPOs are in lockdown by Chribba? Oh, ok then...
Well you obviously don't know how to run an operation like this what expir-*louder background voice* Oh, ok so you do.
Well, it has to happen out in 0.0 so there is still serious risk!! *background shouting* Oh you've handled that before and even in worst case scenario could pay back, ok.
Well...How about logistics? Huh? Thought of tha-*Scuffle in background* Oh, so you have taken care of that, all right, all right.
*The three Billy Goats Gruff then tossed the troll from the thread and it resumed in a smooth and uninterrupted fashion*
Looks like you have thought of everything, carry on then.

Since it looks like there'll be enough interest on this I've gone ahead and sent Chribba my corp shares and begun lockdown votes on what few bpos I have laying around. I keep my BPOs in production nearly 24/7, so it'll take close to two weeks for them to finish production and cycle them all through lockdown votes.

Just for clarity sake, if you do decied to extend/refinance the bond at the 6month mark, those who wish not to continue their investment will get a 100% buyback?
