Alpine 4 Holdings Inc (ALPP)

[Murdoc]

Ladies and gentlemen. Let’s set some things straight. Remember I said I love everyone earlier so please read my essay. Ready...GO!!!

Since you didn’t get the message I will say again.

I have been a shareholder since 2014. I know many of the executives in the office and attend all of ALPP’s shareholder meetings. So i think i can talk with facts and not negative hype.

Now lets break down some of the nonsense.

Fact 1: Kent has not been paid $5m salary as suggested. In fact he was paid $12k in salary in 2015 (you can verify this in the 10k filings in April 2016) and was also granted at the time what amounted to $5m in shares which was part of his agreement to take us public. Oh and wait for it, wait for it!!!! He and his executive team have never sold one share. Something you can verify by any of the none existent form 4’s that have never been filed for Kent and any of the executive team.

Fact 2: it's been stated that management needs to “1. Trim their existing expenses but keep the same revenue. 2. Grow revenue with existing subs without growing the expenses as much as revenue. 3. Pay off debts and reduce interests expenses.” But wait,,,, what is this thing called optimization vs asset producing? The business plan that Kent and his executive team show called DSF and Optimization vs Asset is plainly written on their website, discussed at every shareholder meeting and is regularly talked about in interviews the company does. The absurd point that they are “losing money and just increasing debt” is completely devoid of understanding of what Alpine 4 is....They borrow money to buy companies and as disclosed at the 2018 shareholder meeting their average cost of this debt to acquire these companies runs around Wait For It!! Wait For it!!! 6-7% and the optimization period, which Kent says can take up to 18 months,, seeks to do exactly what some say he must do.... Go figure.

Fact 3: I find it also ironic that the dilution going on is complained about along with the debt the company has incurred. The fact that Kent has built this company out of nothing with the amount of outstanding shares it has shows that he has done the opposite of the criticisms. In fact ALPP has protected shareholder value by limiting the equity issuances in their acquisition deals. Otherwise we would be at 10B shares outstanding not the 70-90m we are at now. Such utter hypocrisy and nonesense IMO. Further, the fact that Kent and the board decided to a pay dividend in the form of class C shares shows that they have uniquely done something to give back to the shareholders. Name one other OTC company that has done this?

Alpine 4 is far from perfect, but lets give the team at Alpine 4 some credit for what they have built.
