TripleZ: He owns 30MM shares of KEYO common stock. Take my previous example and what would he make?
30MM / 5 = 6MM
6MM x $15.40 = $92MM
But, that's only his KEYO shares and that's only "Day 1" straight market cap based on Forbes valuation of Nantworks, LLC.
He still would own 80% of the new NANT...that won't change and 80% is control and that's his MO. Whenever he decides to sell NantWorks, LLC, he gets his 80% back in cash.
If he took NantWorks, LLC public via a traditional IPO, he'd lose that 80% control. Control is key. He won't lose it.
Raising money? He's a money magnet. The #1 reason to go public via a traditional IPO is to raise money. He don't need no stinkin' Wall St. TBTF bank to help him raise money. And what a pain in his arse. You know how much time he'd have to spend doing the stupid "road show" for nothing, diverting him from his real work? He's not going to do that. And, where's the rumble about an IPO? We would've hear something by now if that were going to happen, IMO.
I say that because, don't forget, per Forbes - if he is most likely going to "IPO" his first tracking stock for the NantHealth, LLC subsidiary as early as next year, I'd think the Parent Company stock would/should be trading already for a number of months prior to that first subsidiary tracking stock is made public.
I look at the Forbes article and I think it's one of those cases where what's left unsaid is what's of utmost importance.
In this case, the author did NOT mention AT ALL how the Parent Company, NantWorks, LLC, was going public, or when.
I think because he wasn't told jack about that because that would be insider trading and Dr.SS's vision would suddenly go dark.
