whats the point? FOR A REVERSE MERGER.
a publicly traded shell is a ton of money ($300,000 - $500,000).
A shell with no audits, etc are cheap, but non reporting stocks cant do anything in terms of fund raising, etc.
Instead of a company going the IPO route and spending MILLIONS on the possibility the IPO is approved, you find a "shell" with a low share structure to basically "merge" together.
saving the new company $$ and at the same time bringing it public.
ART/CEO if its a merger, will step down and let the new company bring in their own BOD
