Chapter 0 - LLSE Info
This IPO is being traded through the LLSE. All rules of the LLSE applies. No more than 100 shares can be purchased per person for the first two weeks. All purchases must be made through Krythas.
Chapter 1 - Summary of SSGSM
SSGSM is a trading corporation that operates at Jita 4-4. The corporation participates in station trading of various items. Basically buy low, sell high, ????, profit. I would like to open up 1000 shares of my corporation for public investment.
Chapter 2 - Background on origins/idea/current business
I started SSGSM for the sole purpose of an IPO. After dabbling in a little bit of everything that eve has to offer, I have decided I like trading the most. After a hiatus lasting a couple months, I am back in the game and ready to make some ISK. I know the basics of station trading and would like to do learn to work many of the other facets of the EVE market that exist. I am currently asking for 100 Million in public funds to jump start my business. I could make the money myself, but an IPO makes trading even more enjoyable then it already is and helps everybody in he process. My experience in trading is two months of station trading in the summer of 2009. I am more than confident that I can make enough money to pay everyone decent dividends. Of course what really matters is whether or not investors are confident of the same.
Chapter 3 - Corporate Governance
The corporation is only me. That qualifies as a dictatorship.
Chapter 4 - The Business Plan
The business plan is simple. Since I'm working with such a small amount of money, I'm going to station trade. Dividends will be paid out monthly. If I expand, I will release an updated business plan for that expansion.
Chapter 5 - Statement of Assets
I don't really own anything. Aside from the assets I am buying and selling, I have a few stray ships at Jita, and some drones scattered about the solar system. The total value of my assets probably does not exceed 30 million, if Zephyrs are valued at 5 mil per ship.
Chapter 6 - Full Disclosure of Risks
In game:
- That I am a scammer and simply want to rip of 100 Million ISK from the EVE community. As most of you know by now, it is unlikely that I or anyone else will run away with such a small amount.
- That I get war decced. Not a problem until Incarna is released, at which point, I run the risk of getting mugged or blowing most public funding on virtual strip clubs.
- That I will waste all your money on Exotic Dancers. Not likely but I thought this IPO needed an exotic dancer joke. There it is.
IRL:
- Burn out: Not happening any time soon.
- Increased Work load: Also unlikely.
- Hit by a bus: I am on a college campus and while there are many buses around, I don't drink, therefore lessening the chance of my untimely death via bus.
In all cases except my death, If I am unable to continue my business for any reason, I will offer a buy back of all shares at 110% of the issuing price. If I decide tomorrow that I hate EVE, investors will still make money.

Chapter 7 - Full Disclosure of Main and Alts
Imperator Principes is my main. I currently have no alts on this account but if and when I do create some, their names and purposes will be disclosed here.
I own one other account with one character on it. The character's name is Saphirica. The account is currently inactive. If it's relevant, Saphirica was intended to be a Dreadnought alt but until I have a use for the account, it will remain inactive.
Chapter 8 - Exit Strategy
My exit strategy has been stated above. If for any reason my business cannot continue, I will buy back all shares at 110% of their issuing price. If I die, then investors lose 10 million ISK. Sorry for dying if I do.
Chapter 9 - IPO Phases, Dividends, Market Cap
Total Number of Shares
2,001
Shares Allocated for IPO
1,000
Price Per Share
100,000
Anticipated Market Capitalization
200,100,000
Dividend Schedule
Monthly
Total Dividend Payment
40,020,000
Projected Return per Dividend Payment(%)
20%
Projected Return per Share
20,000 ISK per Share.
If I make any less than 40 million then all of that money will be paid out as dividends. If any more is made, some may be reinvested into the venture but investors can expect higher dividends, i.e., if I make 100 million in a month, 40 million might be reinvested and 60 million might be paid out as dividends. Open to discussion by investors.
Chapter 10 - FAQ
Q: How do I know this isn't a scam?
A: You don't. If you can't afford to lose your investment, please don't invest. I am open to all questions, criticisms, flaming, and pitchfork wielding mobs.
Q: How do you know you'll be successful?
A: I have already made in a few days of trading more than enough to pay out expected dividends. I know some markets well enough to make the promised 40 million a month.
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: I want to. It's fun. I get money.
Q: Do you intend to have an audit done at some point?
A: For 100 million? No. If I decide to expand or ask for more money, I am more than willing to get an audit done.
Q: What's your background?
A: In real life, I'm a college freshman studying economics trying to learn how to make sense of most of the stuff I see on MD. In game, I'm sort of a jack of all trades but a master of none. I want to change that and become a master at eveconomics.
Q: Will you ever buy back shares?
A: This IPO will run indefinitely, but when it does end, I will buy back shares at 110% of their sale value.
Q: What if someone War Decs SSGSM?
A: I will proceed to send them threatening letters. These letters are expected to function much like a UN sanction, that is to say, not at all.
Q: Do you have any plans for expansion?
A: Yes I do. Mostly revolving around PI, regular I, and expansion in general to other regions.
Thanks to Hexxx for his IPO Template and Cista2 for the LLSE initiative that made this offering possible.
Please tell me how I can improve my offerings for future releases.

Notice: It's come to my attention that shares are supposed to be distributed based on time ISK arrived in escrow rather than using a reserve list - my apologies.
As a result, if the following people could return their shares sent out then that would be appreciated so they can be redistributed to the correct people.

i hate to be a pain, but could you post the log of timestamps so we can verify when everyone got in?
I hesitated initially b/c it wasn't clear if we were to evemail you, speak with you or just send isk.

If this had anything to do with the "reserve list" I was making, sorry. I jumped the gun on that one. I was just trying to make everything look official. It has since been removed. If there is still demand for shares in 2 weeks I will issue a 100 million isk expansion to let more people in.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I think you can have ISK in escrow for If I do that. Although I may just be confusing that with the buying and selling of shares.

No- Isk they send into escrow after 1st release will be for current traded shares. You cannot pre-escrow for future shares...only escrow after the LLSE has conferm new shares are ready for trade will they take escrow for the said new shares.

Thanks,
ISK Sent, I'll save the share transfers to the correct people till I get home in about 1.5 hours as my connection is stupidly flakey today
Sorry for the mixup folks, and we might have one more, it appears that the missing transfer from Banque was due to it coming from the corp wallet, not a personal transfer.
The updated Wallet jpeg can be seen at http://kiff.showcard.co.nz/Wallet2.bmp
This means mathsucks should send his shares back as well, and will be compensated as I have done the others.
The final share list should read as follows.
Machete Visor - 100 shares
Azirith Everstorm - 100 Shares
49473 - 100 Shares
Shzanzia - 100 Shares
Lecherito - 100 Shares
Lord Wickham - 100 Shares
ma ***** - 100 Shares
Scott Petterson - 100 Shares
Alacta Lithia - 100 Shares
Banque - 100 Shares
I am still holding 300 shares currently (Lucyna and Althos Zel'tar have returned 100 each, 100 was being held for Banque pending payment proof which has now happened) and still need a further 100 returned from Simmonite (I shall attempt to contact ingame/via evemail)
This will bring the total shares to be distributed to 400
Once I get home (about 1.5 hours) I shall distribute 100 shares each to
Shanzia
Lord Wickham
ma *****
Once I get shares from Simmonite these will goto Alacta Lithia
Then when mathsucks transfers his back these will goto Banque and we should be all good to go *phew*
Apologies again for the mixup, my fault entirely.

You can set up buy orders in the LLSE spreadsheets, there are 9 different companies to buy.
The easiest thing is to join the "LLSE" mail list and post your buy order there.

Today i see that 2000 new shares where released, these shares had been voted but held in reserve from the day before your IPO pitch.
This week you also held an investor vote about releasing shares, which received a 99% NO reply.
You have not even made your first dividend period and you are diluting share value, why?

The shares were created for an expansion that has yet to be announced. Until those shares are sold, the increased market capitalization will be covered by my own isk. Dividends to investors will NOT be decreased due to the creation of these shares. 2000 shares were created. 1000 were given to an alt that I just created, and 1000 were given to Krythas as the broker for my shares.
Hostile Mercantilist is my new alt and when the character is ready, will be taking over management of the business. This leaves 2001 shares under my control, 1000 shares in the hands of investors, and 1000 shares in the hands of Krythas, the broker for SSGSM,
Total Number of Shares
4,001
Shares Allocated for IPO
1,000
Price Per Share
100,000
Anticipated Market Capitalization
400,100,000
Dividend Schedule
Monthly
Total Dividend Payment
80,020,000
Projected Return per Dividend Payment(%)
20%
Projected Return per Share
20,000 ISK per Share.
Dividends payments are still scheduled for the 16th and that will stay the same, expansion or not.
And I suppose I should also address the question of the "no" vote. While I understand that there are investor concerns, I feel that everyone would benefit if I issued my intended expansion. If anybody has any other questions or concerns they would like me to address, please ask. MD has a way of putting people through the shredder and I expect no different.

No need to apologize. Considering it's your money at risk, you have every right to be worried if I do something that seems erratic.

SSGSM Expansion
Two weeks ago I decided to incorporate my station trading and augment my financial capital by issuing 1000 shares on the LLSE. Since then, I have been more successful then I thought I would be. I estimate my current NAV to be around 2 billion ISK. I have decided to release more shares of my corporation to allow more people to invest and to raise more capital for a variety of personal reasons including:
-My trading strategies have recently been revolving around high margin, low volume items. That means most of my money is stuck in escrow most of the time.
-I finish training Retail V today and begin training Wholesale. My number of available market slots is about to double and I need ISK to fill them.
-I want ISK to invest in some items that have a higher volume.
-IÆve been speculating on a couple items and so the ISK I have put into them is essentially useless at the moment.
Long story short, I could use some more ISK. Therefore I am releasing 1000 shares at 500K per share for a total value of 500 Million ISK. New projected dividends for all shares is 100k per share.

I suppose I should make a few other announcements as well. This will be the only expansion for SSGSM. I do not want more than the billion ISK in debt that this effectively puts over my head. Dividends are still scheduled to be paid on the 16th of October. The IPO will continue to pay dividends for SIX MONTHS or until I reach my personal goal of 10 Billion ISK, whichever takes longer. At this point, SSGSM will cease paying dividends and issue a buyback of shares at 550,000 ISK per share. Also, I have created a trading alt named Hostile Mercantilist. He will be taking over the corporation when his trading skills are sufficient.
Krythas is the broker for this expansion. All ISK should be sent to him along with a quaint little message telling him youÆre buying my shares.
Expansion FAQ
Q: Why do you need this money?
A: For the reasons stated above.
Q: Ok so you werenÆt scamming for the 100 million but this is definitely the scam!
A: No. If I were going to scam, it would be way more than 600 Million ISK in public funds.
Q: YouÆre obviously just doing this for rep.
A: True to an extent. Having access to MD investors an incredibly valuable resource. I do not have many friends in this game, and the ones I do have arenÆt much richer than myself. If I ever get a bright idea in the future that I myself cannot finance, I would like to be able to come to MD with the idea and secure the funds I need. But in all honesty I subscribe to the opinion that public money is more trouble then itÆs worth.
Q: Audit?
A: Not for such a small amount. It is my intention to get a performance audit done at some point. I think getting one done every 3 months would be a good idea. They can be considered SSGSM quarterly reports if you will. I am of the opinion that this IPO will be successful in 2 months so IÆll probably end up getting 2 done. If any auditors read this, expect to see me on my knees begging for an audit around the beginning of December.
If there are any other questions or concerns or if I missed anything or said something stupid, please let me know and I will address it.

It does not work like that.
If you want a performance audit you have to understand that verifiable transactions are only kept for 1 week (and hard capped to 1000 anyway), therefore you need to arrange the audit some weeks in advance.
To make things harder, CCP are going to upgrade the API and make the auditing programs unusable by end of October IIRC.

Ok, so would I be able to arrange an audit beginning in the month of November to be released in December? Pending that auditing programs are made to work by then?
TLDR: I don't know yet.
Very long version:
This is my totally opinionable ETA about API related activities:
- Last days of Oct the API is made unavailable.
- IIRC they also change the game data dump structure to include the long IDs, this will be a major PITA for the existing programs.
- 1-2 weeks before CCP manage to put the new API online and actually functioning. They also announced (AFAIK) they will clear the current pre-patch recorded data.
- In the mean time, "hot development" applications like EvEMon will be kept updated and will be out almost in real time vs when CCP finishes their works.
This would allow for a pre-screening and general audit beginning, but you need the other type (performance audit).
- Average - maintenance applications will start coming up mid November the earliest, some of them like EVEMEEP crashing for the next 6 months
- "I will finish it when I have time" applications will come out at December.
- MIA author applications will just stay dead.
Now, in the auditor arsenal we have:
- Actively developed apps like JEvEAssets and EMMA. JEvEAssets is nice for half of the work but it's not enough for now. I am not using EMMA for performance analysis any more though as it manages to always bork something. Last release could be fixed but just the thought to waste 1 afternoon or 2 installing the 80000 bits required to make MS CrapServer 2008 work (ie LolShell) make me puke. EWA too is maintained well enough and is very valid for some things but not what I need.
- EvETrader - I'd classify it in the "Average" to "I will finish it when I have time" category so I have no idea when it'll be done. I use it a lot.
- EvE* (other apps whose names are visible in my audits): I use some of those very heavily and their authors are MIA, nor sources are available. I have to wait for something to come out before I can do proper analysis without resorting to pure Excel (read: they shorten audit costs of time by an order of magnitude to say the least. Translated in commoneer words: audits would much more expensive).
- Excel calculators: most are in the Average or "I will finish it when I have time" categories.
- Online tools: cannot use them, I am trusted API keys and I am not going to forfeit the trust by "giving them out" to third parties.

If that is the case then I guess the best I can do is chalk it up to "We'll see." Let's just say that my full intention is to have an audit done by someone at some point in time after those programs get squared away (or not.) We'll see what's possible when that time comes and worry about it then.

With 4,001 shares, at a NAV of 10B, i would expect a buyback of 2,499,000 ISK per share. Since you have 2,001 shares you'll get a hefty profit. But so should investors.

1) You have violated the regulations of LLSE by buying more shares than allowed. For this you have not been sanctioned.
Now you are trying to sabotage the expansion process of a young entrepeneur. For this you will not be sanctioned either, I just wanted to say you are a royal pain in the ****.
2) Regulations of LLSE command that to avoid 0.01 isking orders should deviate by 1 %. Your sell order should therefore be duly recorded as 505,000 isk unless you wish to lower it.

You people really weren't kidding when you said public money is way more trouble then it's worth. Machete, I will agree to your request. I will now issue buyback at 2,500,000 per share at the close of the IPO. I will also pay the next due dividend at that time.

Well, the other day I said this on SCC: in an ideal situation you would not want to invest in public offers nor your should ask for public money.
The former (investing) because you should easily outpace the public investment gain with your own and the real reason to invest is when you can't find more efficient ways to do by yourself any more (this without even considering the risk of scams).
The latter (asking for public money) because you will find far less issues, trouble, waste of time etc. etc. by asking money to friends, corp mates etc. The only reason to ask for public money would be because friends are poor / playing alone with no friends etc.
This is why all those "I want to start 1T bond because I am cool" investments sound so BAD made, uncalled for, inconvenient and fishy.

Currently I am holding 598 shares, these are made up of..
180 Shares at 495,000ISK/share (sell order by 49473)
418 shares at 500,000ISK/share from the expansion.
Dividends are due to be paid on the 16th of this month. I've had requests for some of these shares but due to restrictions on sales (14 day cooldown) they are still available.

Due to Dividends being paid early this month, I have returned these shares to their owners. Once paid out, the expansion shares will be returned and back up for sale at 500,000ISK each. I will contact 49473 about his shares but they are still considered available at 495,000ISK each

Sometimes RL can come in the way of people logging in, usually its a good idea to leave it for a good few days past the due date before hauling out the pitchforks.
One thing you can do is put the CEO on your watchlist and contact him if you see him login - this is also another reason audits are handy as the auditor can usually tell from the skill queue if an account has become inactive or is still being used actively. (or you could request that an investor or third party hold the API key to check this sorta thing)

i figured this was ending when i asked him to return over 1B to shareholders as a final dividend, when they only put in a small amount, instead of keeping it himself... and he agreed and then expanded.
Very few people would make that choice.
i'll be happy to be wrong.

According to an ex corpmate (Katana Dax) he is MIA, no further information was available.
I've got him on my watchlist, I'd suggest investors do the same and put the new CEO of SSGSM (Hostile Mercantilist) on their watch list as well, if you see them login then you can convo them and ask what's going on.
Edit: Sorry, 'He' being Imperator Principes if that wasn't clear
