In the 17 months since ISS was conceived, we have constructed six public and two private outposts in different parts of Eve.
We are now taking the next step in 0.0 economics, Both politically and functionally. We are selling shares in ISS itself - we are going public with the alliance.
For the ISS it is a logical step and we believe it is the first time a player driven entity in any MMO become truly community owned. You can be part of this unique venture in Eve-Online.
The buyers of these shares become owners of the alliance and will receive monthly dividends of minimum 5%.
The goals of this initiative are:
- Create wealth to the shareholders, ISS owners, by taking advantage of the economies and logistics of scale accessible only by an entity of the size and narrow focus of ISS
- Reinforce the commercial success of the existing 6 public ISS outposts.
- Continue to cultivate and bring capitalism to the frontier by building more public outposts in under utilised areas of space
To bring these goals to life we are selling fifty thousand shares, each worth 10m ISK, to be put up for sale on Dec 10th 2006.
We are guaranteeing monthly dividends of 5%, and have created a business plan for the new ISS, which we believe will over time will ensure a return on investment in excess of 10%.

I'll just go ahead and ask a 'Dark Shikari' question here:
Why would we entrust you with such a large sum of ISK, what have you guys done in the past  
200M sent 
It is actually a good question. While in the past, no single person has had access to over a few 10s of billions, now someone will have access to 500 billion--something that would make even the most trustworthy players flinch.
Will the ISK be sent piecewise to the various projects as it comes in, or will you wait until the full 500b investment comes in, which will probably take a few months?
Hi Dark
Yes, thats why the management team is presented in the documentation. We're going to parcel out the shopping baskets as they come in to the relevant station managers (and we've all met in RL btw) to handle.
We have a online web reporting tool for the accountancy to keep track of cash flow.

With the information that has been freely given to me, some of your outposts are probably under threat, maybe the point of you losing them. I've also been told you hire Merc to defend your shippments and bases, just how much of this investment will go towards defence or is that handled by other income?
Yes, IAC have set us -10. It's very disappointing and incomprehensible. Anyway this kind of thing happens (sometimes), but all costs which may be incurred by this event can be covered by our current liquid assets.

I think I worked out the issue here - we were unclear in the way we presented things.
When at 10% profits, ISS would make 50Bn pr month. Divide that into 10 slices.
If we make 15%, you make 15 slices.
If you do that, you end up with salaries of 5 Bn, divided among the management team.
