If it comes out that over 2 billion shares of NEOM (YA's shares) were sold to an MSFT or the like for 40 cents, there is no way in h-e-double-hockeysticks that the PPS would remain at .012. It would rise to 40 cents (or thereabouts) quickly. Don't you think that if MSFT thinks the company is worth 40 cents that tons of other investors would too? Whether or not it stays there for long depends on many factors.

All of this is hypothetical and nothing more.

Along with the other reply this would be a material event which we would have an 8k put out... and I would say you couldn't touch a share under a nickel probably a dime....

neomfriend - That is not how it would go down.

Try this scenario: Let's say somebody (anybody) came to Neom and said "I want to buy you out for 250mil" What would happen is Neom could accept the buy-out on the premise that 40 or so million goes to pay of YA's debt. Neom approaches YA and states their intent to pay YA off - YA then holds the option to convert their full amount owed into shares as opposed to accepting the pay-off. In other words YA would have an easy decision: Accept the 40 or so million or convert to common (which would in essence give them 50+% of the 5 billion A/S "if they converted it would be O/S") Nevertheless, YA would then hold 50+% percent of Neom of which is being purchased for 250 mil - Equaling a total return of 125 mil as opposed to 40 mil. What decision would you make if you were in their shoes? Safe to say most would opt to convert giving the opportunity...

Now, for us: The ramifications would be; our return would be cut in half due to the O/S maxing out upon YA converting to common in such a scenario (by doubling the O/S from present 2.3 to 5 billion) All of this is based on my understanding and interpretation of the SPA language and what I presume to be logical in relation to YA greedy ways...

By all means if I'm missing something here "chime in"...

We go to 40¢ per share too--or higher. :-) YJ.

What power do we have to keep YA and NEOM management from doing just that????
