Jonway absolutely needs Imperium to be successful given the exclusivity agreement. So if funding the first order needed to be shares for inventory, I am sure Jonway would be amenable.
It would be a good move for both parties.
1st year revenues will more than cover the increase in shares assuming Rick's projection of 100's/month is achieved. Future inventory will be funded from those sales.
For those concerned about the increase, keep in mind SP never goes up during toxic note conversion.
