Section 7 û Share Purchase and Buyback
Section 1 û Summary of IPO
Plato Industries is seeking 14 billion to finance the start up of a T1 manufacturing operation.
Section 2 û Background
John and Sarah have been operating in New Eden since August of 2005. They have already brought one manufacturing industry to maturity and sold it and the characters that ran it for a profit.
John and Sarah also run the Plato Fund, a successful market speculation fund, that recently reached maturity.
Section 3 - Business Plan
Plato Industries will use 4 billion of the funds to obtain 100% control of the Plato Fund, 6 billion of the invested funds to purchase researched BPOs; and 4 billion to purchase minerals and to pay manufacturing cost.
Three characters have been started to run this operation. One will be a production character, one a mining character, and one a transport and trade character.
Section 4 - Assets
John and Sarah will be investing 1 billion ISK into the business leaving 13 billion ISK open to investors. Of course we also covered the cost of creating and training the three characters started for this IPO.

Section 5 û Share Structure and Dividends
This IPO shall consist of 14,000 shares valued at 1 million ISK per share. 1000 of these shares will be purchased by John and Sarah leaving 13,000 for the public.
65% of the monthly profits shall be paid out as dividends, and the rest will be reinvested into the IPO. We expect returns to be between 10% and 15% per month. The remainder of July and August will represent our first period of activity; after that dividends will be paid monthly.
During the early days while the characters are completing their training and BPOs are being purchased and researched Plato IndustriesÆ investment in the Plato Fund will insure that dividends will be paid each month.
Section 6 û Exit Strategy
Plato Industries will operate for at least one year. At the end of operations assets will be sold, including the characters and the full profits will be distributed to investors.
The same strategy will be used if unforeseen events dictate that Plato Industries should shut down earlier than expected.
In the unlikely even that both John and Sarah should perish instructions will be left on our computers for our children to dissolve the corporation and make returns to the investors.
Section 7 û Share Purchase and Buyback
At first this IPO will be made to former shareholders of the Plato Fund. After they have had an opportunity to invest then it will be open to the public. You may make reservations below. Payments will be sent to the corporation Plato Industries. Please wait to send payments until you have been notified in this thread that your reservation has been accepted.
There is no maximum investment. However, the larger the investment the more difficult it will be to order a buyback of your shares. The maximum buy back the corporation will allow is 1 billion per month. During the first six months the buy back rate will be 75%; after that the buy back rate will be 95%.
We will be happy to answer any questions perspective investors may have.

500 shares please
Edit: must say that I'm interested in how the mining character is essential to your business plan. Ice mining to fuel a POS? Or is it just that you can manage him semi-afk to generate more income than a GTC would cost?
The miner is my "bored" option. When I have orders in the oven and nothing else to do I plan on mining trit to cut down on the minerals I will have to buy.

I take it your double personality Sarah fell asleep in the 20 minutes time it took to edit her last post in the Plato fund final report and post the new IPO thread?

I'm not sure what you are driving at here, but I used Sarah's account to post the final report on Plato Fund. She has long since fallen asleep and was supposed to do that today.

Thank you. I will post my final report later in the reserved space just under your IPO plan. But first I want to give Bad Bobby a chance to invest himself.

I will reserve one billion pending further examination.
I'd also be happy to come to an arrangement with you for supplying the researched BPOs you require.

These reservations I hope you are doing because you feel confident in this IPO. People reserving shares pending further investigation sounds like to me you are waiting for one of the more senior members of the MD community to tell people whether or not to invest and what they should be asking.

I'm not sure there is much point in doing that. This is a ground up operation. The characters doing the mining and industry work have completed training their learning skills to 4/4 and are now starting their specific training for their tasks. The hauling alt didn't train learning skills--she has completed her basic industry star ship training and is now training her trade skills.
If you insist of course I'll be happy to link them, but I don't see the point.
While the training process is completed and the bpos secured and researched PI will obtain the Plato Fund and that will bring in plenty of income in the mean time.

I would appreciate it if you could link the skills for each of the chars you'll be using including John Holt.
You mentioned 5-6 accounts? This is important.

I'm not sure if I should feel insulted by that comment.
