If after 3 months you changed your business plan and started getting 50% returns, would you still only pay out 4-10%?
If that situation ever occurs i would propose changes to the current payout system which would be left to a shareholder vote. |

Good question. I had a lot of questions upon first reading the topic. Most of them have been answered throughout the thread. However, one thing that isn't clear, is the original investment going to be treated the same as the new issue, in terms of dividends?
Yes, the new shares are going to be treated the same as the original investment. There has only been one change and that is that the buyback has been increased to 115% and this applies to all shares. |

The reason this looks like a bond and not an IPO is because in real IPOs dividend payments are a percentage of profits; not a percentage of initial investment (a percentage of initial ivestment is interest - a bond, loan, or interest bearing account).
So if he said he was going to pay out 50% of profits every month, that would work out fine and would have variability built in (as a real IPO). For the first 3 months, obviously dividends will be small or nil due to research and ramp up. Slim or no profits are being made. But the real draw of an IPO is that you're gambling that the next three months afterward might have 50% margins on investment, at which point the dividend rate would be 25% of initial investment (half of the profits). At that point, yeah you're loving the IPO.
In the case we have here, the dividends are not tied to the profits. This is a bond. It can never be an IPO, because dividends are supposed to be generated from profits; not on initial investment like interest. |

This is where the IPO/Bond terminology of Market Discussions starts to cause some confusion. Colloquially, you could have an 'initial public offering' (IPO) of either 'equity' (shares, residual ownership and profit participation) or 'debt' (bonds, contractually defined payments of interest and principal).
(In the real world, the term 'initial public offering' is commonly defined in securities regulations and hence has become a term of art associated with equity offerings, but obviously there is no such unary regulator in New Eden to tell an issuer that they are 'doing it wrong' or to officially reject a prospectus, so the term is not so strictly defined.)
Basically, just knowing that an offering is the first public opportunity to participate in an enterprise doesn't tell you whether it's equity or debt that you're buying.

Regardless of the terminology used, I would still say that a dividend payment is a percentage of profits and is linked to equity financing, while a percentage returned on initial investment is debt financing. That means this is debt financing regardless of what name you put on top of it.
Still, thanks for that post. I'm still learning. =D --------------------

Yes, i will have access to 8bn isk from this expansion. Never more than this at any given point.
Remember if i was to scam this Kazuo will disclose all of my characters that have been playing for up to 4 years each, the reputation of these characters is worth much more than 8bn to me. Also have it known that my personal assets are in excess of 8bn and i have also invested one month into this project so far which i would not be willing to throw away.

Now that was disingenuous. " From this expansion" and " at any given point". The actuality is that you will have access to 12 billion isk. Now, how much of the original 4 billion is still available is unknown to us but side stepping a direct question like that is ... umm... disingenuous at best. |

Can you please let us know when the vote completes and the result. I figure it's pretty ponitless sending my isk until it's confirmed that the expansion will actualyl be going ahead. --------------------------------------
