While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to a business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a so called “tax-free” reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under the Code, it may be necessary for the owners of the acquired business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such event, our shareholders would retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which could result in significant dilution in the equity of such shareholders.
Looks like the roll of the dice for a juicy RM came about 3 years too late here. Meuse shells had a nice run for a while, but that was before accounting scandals (RINO, CCME et al) rocked the china small caps into investment-world oblivion.
