people buying this will be stuck holding a dead shell

Probably not even that.

The release says they plan to dissolve the company. If so, the stock will be cancelled upon the final dissolution with the State of Incorporation, and FINRA should cancel the ticker at that time.

[db7]

gotcha, didn't do much of any dd as I have no position here; merely requested the docs out of curiosity

have a good day!

[nodummy]

no cash divi... they aren't actually selling the assets they are giving them away to pay off debt owed to their principal creditor

people buying this will be stuck holding a dead shell

but to each their own

[db7]

cash divvy maybe, although the financials don't seem to support that notion

just out of curiosity, I emailed the contact they mentioned for the Information Statement and Proxy yesterday afternoon but never heard back

unless anyone else received them, it's just blind buying on 'hope'

[nodummy]

SVSA is selling off its assets and dissolving the company.

Why would anybody want to buy a stock that is being abandoned by its officers?

SVSA up 80% on 100 shares. Unbelievable POS

[Traderfan]

One would think there will be a solution somehow.

[Bobwins]

SVSA up 90% today on ~$50 worth of trades. Hard to believe that owners have invested so much in this project and they can't get it to go forward.

[lvhd]

SVSA nice action today.

[lvhd]

Still holding this POS.

[stilltryin]

Solid green day? I don't get this stock? Good company, good product, oh poor management, that's it...

[Traderfan]

To be honest I'm in the dark about that as well. I bought this as a lotto ticker if they ever get this done then this could be a big one. Other than that it's just waiting for now I guess. As you say they should be very interested for their own sake to get this thing done. Question is when and how.

[Bobwins]

last pr indicated they are still working on the underground piping and roadwork. This must be the founders financing the "groundwork" stuff while they are waiting to get someone interested in financing the actual construction of the hotel. Obviously the owners have spent a LOT of money on this project and that's what attracted me to this rather hopeless looking stock. Has anyone seen any timelines on when they think they will get an answer on financing?

[Traderfan]

They really changed this? That's very surprising to me but not a bad thing I guess. Didn't read about that yet. Good to know thx. Overall SEC filer or not won't be a deal breaker here IMO, they need to perform on the hotel.

[Dina]

No, this has changed last year. There are many alternative reporting companies under QB tier, see RXMD and others. For me QB status is also not important, but possible it stays QB.

https://www.otcmarkets.com/corporate-services/get-started/otcqb

Reporting Requirements

Meet one of the following Reporting Standards:

SEC Reporting Standard

Regulation A Reporting Standard (Tier 2)

U.S. Bank Reporting Standard

International Reporting Standard

Alternative Reporting Standard

[Traderfan]

Yes they will continue to file with otcmarkets is my understanding, not with the SEC anymore. But they will lose the QB status since it's only for SEC filers. That said doesn't really matter much to me. There are plenty of alternative reporting companies doing well.

[Dina]

Ok, so hopefully this below means that they will continue to file as an alternative reporting company. THis costs $6k and then they would not even lose QB status.

OBERRIEDEN, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SunVesta, Inc. (“SVI” or the “Company”) (SVSA) today announced that it will no longer voluntarily comply with the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act. SVI had been filing annual, quarterly and current reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in view of a possible public offering of its shares.
As the Company has consistently had less than 100 shareholders of record, it is not legally required to comply with these reporting requirements. Therefore, SVI’s board of directors deemed it in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders to eliminate this costly compliance burden in light of its current financial situation. SVI will continue to report financial and other material information to its shareholders and noteholders, and the Company’s shares will continue to trade in the OTC market in the U.S.

Inclusion in "The Leading Hotels of the World" luxury hotel collection

The Company is pleased that its Costa Rican beach resort "Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas," a category 5* plus hotel project, which is currently under development, has been included in the luxury hotel collection "The Leading Hotels of the World."

"The Leading Hotels of the World" brings together over 375 top hotels in 75 countries that meet the highest quality standards. To qualify for admission, a hotel must meet strict quality standards and must be different from the vast majority of international luxury hotels. The luxury hotel collection "The Leading Hotels of the World" combines individuality, the best of the particular destination and the highest quality at the international five-star level.

Infrastructure work for Beach Resort about to be completed

SVI will complete the infrastructure works for its Beach Resort Hotel "Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas" on schedule this year. The infrastructure includes all underground piping systems for supply and disposal at the resort. These include various types of piping systems for fresh and waste water, telecommunication systems for telephone and internet as well as electrical high and low voltage systems. This work will be completed in June 2018. In addition, the resort's 3.5 kilometers of paved roads will be completed in composite stone construction by October 2018.

All work is supervised by the architects and engineers, by project management on site and SVI management.

I know the form but i still don´t understand why they filed it. Company updated company profile last month, they filed the last Q last month and they released news 3 days ago.

So i don´t understand why they filed this form today.

SVSA has a new director, Humberto Pacheco. He is a lawyer from Costa Rica who sold his company to Ernst & Young last year.

Nice, I have a bid for some more. SVSA

The Company has entered into a loan agreement with Aires International Investments Inc. (“Aires”), a company owned by Dr. Rössler (a director of the Company and related company). The Company had borrowed $57,613,418 from Aires as of December 31, 2017 (including accrued interest of $12,942,729).

He is not only a director, Dr. Max Rössler finances the project.

There are sometimes pennystocks where billionaires are involved.
But show me one where they invest $60m into the company! Doesn´t happen often. And there are more agreements.

New funding over the next twelve months is expected to be raised from debt financing through bonds, shareholder loans and, if necessary, the guaranty agreement borne by certain principal shareholders and participants in management.

On July 16, 2012, certain principal shareholders of the Company or principal lenders to the project entered into a Guaranty Agreement in favor of the Company. The purpose of the guaranty is to ensure that until such time as financing is secured for the entire project that they will act as guarantors to creditors of SunVesta Holding AG.

The Guaranty Agreement requires that within 30 days of receiving a demand notice, requested funds are made available by the guarantors to the Company. Based on this guaranty, management believes that available funds are sufficient to finance cash flows for the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2017 and the filing date, though future anticipated cash outflows for constructing the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas continue to depend on the availability of third party financing.

On October 28, 2016, Hans Rigendinger and Dr. Max Rössler formally agreed to maintain the guaranty, as necessary, until completion of the construction of Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas, after which date the guaranty will expire.

[Traderfan]

I bought in as well here. This all seems intriguing and at least have a lot of potential besides the risk.

[Dina]

10k shows: "Our expected timeline for developing the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas has been extended due to delays associated with administrative hurdles and securing the necessary financing for the development as follows

*commence onsite vertical construction as soon as financing is secured
* complete construction mid-2020
* handover to hotel management mid-2020

[Dina]

I have no idea if funding is the reason for the delay and it doesn´t sound like company is concerned to find a new management company in case Melia is not interested anymore.

Here in Cologne/Germany they want to build a casino and there are always delays and funding is not the problem.
With larger projects delays could have other reasons.

You could ask the management. They always answer, but takes 1-2 weeks, email is [e-mail]

Ceo died September 2016. Maybe this is also a reason for the delay.

[Bobwins]

ok, I bought a few shares today on the dump to .03. The presentation is impressive but what is the holdup? Obviously mgmt has substantial credentials. There must be a problem raising the money. Otherwise why would they have to risk losing their management partner by not meeting the construction deadline date.

[lvhd]

Volume still low. SVSA $$$

[benchman]

Yeah, looking good. .052 now, ask .055. $SVSA

[lvhd]

Buyers are coming. SVSA $$$

[benchman]

Seeing nice hits at .05 right now. $SVSA

[lvhd]

Good morning everyone. SVSA looking good! Still undervalued.

[benchman]

Up a whopping 40% for this underhyped gem of a stock today Something must be right here...

•On February 28, 2018, the Company met with Melía to advise that the amended completion date for the project could not be met. Discussions are now ongoing as to whether Melía will extend the agreement again or whether the Company will choose to engage a different management company for the project.
