I guess it would be far more likely for Q to do something illegal or dishonest like selling common shares for cash while stating NO DILUTION. <sarcasm intended>
Where's the form D?
I just hope the store owners didn't get duped into accepting worthless Q shares as a part of the deal. The shares would be restricted, and by the time they could sell them, there will most likely have been another RS and massive dilution to pay ongoing operating expenses.
