Okay, I know that was technically written in English but I'm still trying to work out if it was the English I'm familiar with, or some alien strain of it I've previously been oblivious to.

We're going to have an IPO on this? Now that will be interesting. So do we all give out current shares back and then buy them back again for more? Sounds fun, count me in.

If I can buy OWCP shares through brokerages then the company is a public company.

IPO is for private companies going public either through buying a shell or raising fund through big shots like JP Morgan, etc.

Public companies can be bought/taken over by merger/acquisition process.

I don't think OWCP is a public company in a certain sense for now. This is why they have something like IPO to talk about.
