Hmm, yes, I suppose so, any country not willing to open their markets, but willing to buy stock shall be permited to buy up to 5,000 stocks(200,000 available, I control 40,000, so 160,000 stocks for sale), for $30 USD each.

TO: Some Random CEO
From: Leader dude of H-F industries(Can't remember his name)
Dear Sir/ Miss/ whatever the hell you are,
Instead of buying us, we would like to merge with the pending union industries, pending several terms:
1. all our employees get to keep their jobs( A company with ethics? :) )
2. We can keep our previous contracts with the Illiorian government
3. We keep our main production facility in Illior, due to us having a massive island where we own almost everything, from the city, to the airport and major ports, and possibly some naval vessels, pending our purchase from RSIN.
On top of that, the Island has some major metal mines, which havn't been tapped. you will have access to mine the metal (Mainly titanium) for use within the major company, and also access to all port and airport facilities.

IC:
That's fine, seeing as I'm stepping down anyway. I'd just ask you to keep Our PR, Overseer and Research guys, they're the best i've seen in Illior, and they're loyal! they were offered jobs by a smaller company but with more money, but they stayed at HF. Keep 'em they're good.

The Internationalist, Financial Section
The Klatchian International Opportunities Fund, with a capitalization of over two trillion Krondors (Three Trillion USD) has taken intrest in purchasing all outstanding stock of We But it Inc at a price of $40 USD per share.

The KIOF was formed by the Federated Klatchian Coast to bring finnancial opportunities within the recent financial crisis of Santa Barbra. Quoting Landgrave Wittelback, Chairman of the KIOF "It seems that this We Buy It has the same general concepts that we at KIOF have been presuing. Obviously with the backing of the entire Federation we have far larger financial resources available than We Buy It does. Therefore, it seems that a merger of the enthusasim of We Buy it, with the finnancial strength of KIOF is a good marriage. However, if We Buy It refuses our inital offering then we may be forced into acquring We Buy It by more hostile means."

OOC: Basically I am offering to increase your capitalization and give you the finnacial backing of KIOF. (Really KIOF needs to do this but I'm too damn busy to spend the time negotating.

OOC: That is english...

We are offering to buy out your company (the 155,000 outstanding shares) and increase the amount of money you have to buy things with. (called capitalization) buy giving you a no-intrest loan.

Essentially the KIOF is an investment 'fund' not a company. It invests in buisnesses to help the ecconomic postion of its share holders. And a buyout is not a 'merger' in that you would not be getting any KIOF funds. Although as a KIOF subsidary you would have access to the Federation's markets. Which at 87 Billion (last count) is quite large.

KIOF wants to become your largest shareholder. (However we will not be making any management changes at the moment)

As for Space Union, your a subsidary of We Buy it, therefore you get no say in the matter. :p

Although considering that we have to rebuild the entire Joint Defense Force of the Federation soon, being a subsidary of KIOF could be potentially quite profitable.

edit: Wait your letting a subsidary tell you what to do? Pah, forget it.

I'm not a subsidary of We Buy It! Inc. We bought his military sub-companies and combined them with our own companies to form a different entirely company. We are an entirely seperate company. Its like saying when Boeing bought Rockefeller's airplane division, Boeing became a subsidary of Rockefeller, Inc. That's not true is it. Same thing with UMCI.

23-08-2005, 17:22
After re-reading your deal we would agree that you are not a subsidary, although We Buy It appears not even to have stock in UMCI. But perhaps that was just assumed.

However, if that is the case then UMCI has no legal standing to prevent KIOF from investing in We Buy It.

Unless your claiming that you've bought all 155,000 outstanding shares of We Buy it inc for sixty million, in which case We Buy It is a subsidary of UMCI.

edit:Sorry but that deal isn't working. All military industries in his company are part of the Union Military and Civil Industries (UMCI). We do not accept being taken over by your company. Thank You.

If you are a seperate spin-off company (with a back end 5% deal), then the last part of this statment makes absolutely no sense.

First part of your response: Who's that to?

Second Part: I'm paying 5% for sweetening the deal. Just think it this way, I bought WBI's military division. It becomes part of my company. I pay him a 5% of the profits for sweetening the deal for 10 years. Now do you understand?

PIW Rejects Buyout Offer

PORTLAND (ASP) -- In response to a deal that surprised many in the nation's financial capital, shareholders of the Portland Iron Works overwhelmingly rejected a proposed buyout of the company by We Buy Stuff! Inc. minutes after the proposal was put to a vote.

"The Portland Iron Works is not for sale. End of discussion," Managing Director Barbara Tucker, a former rear admiral in the Incorporated Sarzonian Navy said. "The shareholders were against this, the board of directors was against this, and I was against this. No deal."

A spokesman for the Federal Commerce and Trade Committee said the body that governs Sarzonian business would have rejected the measure if it had come to a vote. When asked, spokesman Lyle Cheneyworth said, "Not a chance.

"You're talking about the company that is the single most influential company in all of Sarzonia," he said. "The idea that any foreign company would have that much sway over Portland wouldn't sit well with the Commission."

Despite the assurances that the FCTC would reject any such proposals, Delegate Connie Jacobi (Liberal Imperialist-Somerset) said she is introducing a bill that prohibits foreign ownership of Sarzonian companies "beyond incidental control," which her legislation defines as more than five percent of available stock.

"Having a Sarzonian company under the full control of a foreign business sends a negative message to Sarzonians," she said. "No matter how sweet the pot, it's just not something we should be willing to allow."

Sources within Parliament wouldn't speculate about the chances the bill has to reach President Mike Sarzo's desk, but suggested that it could possibly be amended to make exceptions in the event a company is facing insolvency.

"Obviously, we shouldn't sit idly by whilst a company goes under if it's a company that needs to stay afloat to provide Sarzonian jobs," one source said on condition of anonymity. "But a company like Portland Iron Works? They have too much of an impact on Sarzonian commerce for any foreigners to buy them out."

We will buy all your stocks for 2x their initial value. That will come out to a sum of $6 trillion dollars. That will be twice your initial investement. We hope that this deal is fair to you as it is in rock that you will get a substancial profit from this merge.

We are disinclined at the moment to sell our shares in KIOF at the present time and at your suggested price before the spin off of Klatchian Energy.

-The Royal Trust of The United Duchies

OOC: Reasonably You could get some of the smaller shareholders to be bought out at the price you suggested. There is about sixteen thousand shares not held by any of the other 'institutional investors' or their related groups. I'd say you'd likely be able to buy 60% of these independent shares (9600) based on Klatchian dynamics. But that is less than one precent of the voting shares.

Of course you could see if you can pry stocks out of some of the other major shareholders...but it would take a huge pile of cash to move the Crawfords from controling Cold Star Ltd.

edit: Of course doing so would increase the valuation of the KIOF significantly...

P.S. KIOF pays dividends.

In your TG it said I can buy more than 60,000 stocks ;) Okay I'll tone that down to 65,000 stocks. That will come out to a total of $2,925,000.

A+H:

Were sorry to hear that you won't sell your stocks. For now we will give up trying to buying your share until a later time. We hope that we can come at a bargain later on.

OOC: It seems that the money required would make this deal unprofitable.

OOC: Well Space Union the problem is that private companies (or funds) with large cash assets are difficult to take over. Just ask Walmart...the've been wanting to buy either Mejer's chains (who between them created the superstore) for years but their both privatly owned.

It makes IC sense for me to try and buy out WBI because with 600 million in the bank and a total valuation of less than seven million dollars (200,000 shares at 30 USD each) then a take-over attempt was inevitable.

I just missed the legal restriction of foreign ownership.

As for attempting a counter take-over. It doesn't really make sense actually KIOF is a bit big for WBI (even backed by Space Union) to buy out.

Although you need to calculate in that KIOF owns a monopoly for fusion supplied energy for Santa Barbera. (estimate: 844 Billion per year profits) Not to mention Cold Fusion throughout the FKC . The Klatchian International Opportunties Fund is quite valuable and likely very underpriced.

Really KIOF was formed to play with the big boys in buying up Santa Barbera companies in an earlier thread. Where 600 Billion wouldn't even get you on the table, let alone a chance to win.

Allow us to mine for metal, drill for oil in your nation, allow us to buy existing companies, pretty much make a monopoly in your country of everything, but you'd get up too 60,000 Stock, a small pencentage of profits, free trade with WBI and the ability to produce faster and cheaper thanks to WBI's vast industrial complex and resources, and cheaper shipping too!
