If we hit Expert, we'll be lower than subbies.
Most of dem are big boys like Reddit, AirBnB, etc.
$NBEV is an example of a smaller company that initially went this route.
Confidential submissions aren't unusual.
With emerging growth companies, they can the need to keep sensitive information confidential until closer to the IPO date. When that happens, the review process, which typically involves several rounds of comments and revisions between the company and the SEC, is out-of-sight until the review process is complete. Once complete, that's when the S1 filing will be made public for us dweebs.
That's our working theory.
There has been no public declaration from the company stating they have/are filing. But several of us believe it to be true based on info we've dug up, independently of one another. You can decide if we're crazy or not.
After the public filing, that's when companies go on the "roadshow" to try and find investors. $ASKH may have already done that part. Their might be more $$$ raising but they've been promised up to $60M by the New Zealand Captain America. That's what I call him since his name is Chris Evans, which makes it virtually impossible to Google the dickhead. If they don't need to raise more $$$, there might be a very quick turnaround between the S1 filing, the IPO, and the SEC declaring the S1 "effective". But is anything ever quick with this company?
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob
What company is this if you don't mind me asking?
Correct. Only after it's done *and approved* do we see it that it was filed. Sometimes they show the back-and-forth questions raised by the SEC; sometimes, they don't. Given we're effectively a Chinese company, they'll be more intense scrutiny.
I think you meant "they're".
We think so. Lol. Been targeting end of March since the ad hoc announcement of the audit (about six months ago).
Which happens first?
Rayne's extension at some stupid number or $ASKH's filings hit?
Call me old fashioned but his EKG probably counts, too. LMFAO!
J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
This would be the most JETS thing EVER if A-A-Ron ran for VP!! The domain “kennedyrodgers.com” was recently registered. A-A-Ron is on the very short list to run as VP for Kennedy Jr.
If A-A-Ron decides to run, it'll mean the Jets will have paid him $36,888,888 for 4 snaps. 5 snaps if you count his Achilles. That joke never gets old. Lol.
If he retires *before* that 2nd option bonus kicks in, Jets will "only" take a $28M dead cap hit. If he retires *after*, Jets could potentially be looking at a $66.2M dead cap hit. But I doubt it. There will be lawyers involved. Can't play football and have the VP Presidential debates between Weeks 5 and 6 of the NFL season A-A-Ron!
Some have speculated this could put Zach Wilson 3rd in line for the Presidency. Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard, etc. would surely be up for Cabinet positions. The Jets would receive no draft compensation.
It's one less than a gazillion.
We faux rich again boys!
Cedarian DeLeon Lamb is still waiting for his bag of $$$ to arrive. It won't be long.
You mothereffers are on a roll.
Screaming out loud laughing!
LMFAO!!!!
She is currently installed in the office as my Commander and Chief. She may dislike me as much as I dislike her. Lol. Here's to the next 20 bliss-filled years!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
It's my 20th Wedding Anniversary today. Show some respect.
To commemorate the moment, I'd like to quote Henny Youngman, "Take my wife. Please".
"In connection with the equity capital raise transaction, NYCB will sell and issue, in the aggregate, to the Investors shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share of $2.00 and a series of convertible preferred stock with a conversion price of $2.00, for an aggregate investment amount of $1.05 billion. In addition, investors will receive 60% warrant coverage to purchase non-voting, common-equivalent stock with an exercise price of $2.50 per share, a 25% premium to the price paid on common stock."
Without dealing with the (surely toxic) convertible preferred (1:1,000), 525 million shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the equity capital raise ($1.05B / $2 per share). Shares outstanding before today was 722M. Basically 1.25B shares soon to be outstanding. Mnuchin has about 42% here. Again, that's before dealing with the preferred and 60% warrant coverage, etc.
We can rest assured Mnuchin is going to make out like he did with Indy Mac back in the day. Current shareholders probably not so much.
So... what happens tomorrow? I mean besides more selling. I remember making a few shekels shorting Bank of Smithtown back in the day. That was easy because Brad Rock Sr. and Jr. were dip$hits who got aggressive at exactly the wrong time. I don't think NYCB's problems are credit risks per se. Did they buy a bunch of bad loans when they absorbed Signature? Maybe. But I suspect their problem is more financial regulations rather than poor loans.
In the end, the best play with Bank of Smithtown was waiting for it to hit bottom (~$2) and then getting bought out by People's United Bank (~$4). Hearing Mnuchin might be the stranger upon whom NYCB may have to depend for kindness.
Micah got his 5th year option...
...it's just that Jerry tag him as a DE rather than a LB. 5th year option for a LB, surprisingly, is more than a DE. The difference is $24 million (in 2025) vs. $21.32 million. I don't know if Jerry is playing a game here or not. But both sides know this ends with Micah becoming the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. Move over Bosa the Younger ( 5 years / $170M or $34M per / $122.5M in total guarantees), Micah's coming through!
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
IR's delicate eyes are here every day reading these replies. Why ya want to throw truth daggers into his eyes? This ain't no comedy roast!
Been a rough week for IHuB but it seems much better this afternoon. Hopefully the fix is in and slow connection issues are behind us.
Looks like we were the jinx.
No, just Lethal Weapon 1, 2, and 3.
His Schwarz isn't nearly as long as yours.
Not me this time.
Faux rich is almost as good as real rich. My wife doesn't believe but she never listens to me.
I'd divide by at least 140M A/S count. Probably going to be higher share count than that. But if we truly are a unicorn, we won't care much.
I did but the MMs wouldn't let me.
Little better. Hopefully a bright weekend for all...
...except Broncos fans. Those guys suck.
The Reign of Rayne begins anew this off-season!
Just had his best regular season ever. Followed it up with probably his worst post-season ever. Oi vey. Jerry did it to himself.
You should be nicer to the Bears fan. Lol.
His team is about to draft Caleb Williams and yours is about to give Rayne 3 years, $180M, or $60M per year.
It's been 2 weeks. $0.80 is now support.
