1. So we knew about STI/ACS Asset Purchase and License Agreement (APLA) and would be White Labeling STI products.
agreed
2. MSFT one-time lump sum settlement payment (9.75M) and a NDA.
yes
3. ACS is one of STIs distributors and after the 30 MAR webinar sounds like ACS is doing the licensing with MSFT. As part of the APLA -- STI will get 15% for the Malware Suite and 20% when ProtectID is involved.
let's not forget 80% of ProtectID revs
4. ACS finalized their option to purchase the Keystroke encryption patents effective 28 JAN 2016, which just so happens to be around the timeframe of the STI/MSFT settlement win for STI! wink
ACS stated in webinar they 100% own them now. To make that statement, while at the same time saying they don't own the OOBA patents wink tells me they are not waiting until 30 SEP 2020 to pay STI and have paid them. Yes, finalized the option to purchase, but don't own them until paid for, right?
I don't see the logic here. It seems to me as per the terms of their deal they can claim ownership of the patents regardless of the timing of the $9m payment. Don't think we can know for sure if ACS paid STI $9m yet. However, I believe ACS and STI are "Ace Coon Boons" now, the best of friends and if STI needs the $9m at any time then ACS will pony up.
Also, as stated in the APLA -- if paid prior to 30 SEP 2020, STI can still receive royalty percentages until then.

5. Mr. Kay has stated the goal is company or products to be bought out! It shaped up to be products buyout! wink
nice perspective, makes sense
6. ACS buys the patents for keystroke encryption.
7. OOBA patents will be sold to ?? for Multi-Billion dollar buyout. TPG is at the top of my list! wink
this is a good way to think about it, but still seems like company buyout is more likely to me
8. There's talk about uplisting, but don't believe that's the vision/goal! BUYOUT is the Vision/Goal! wink
