Greetings.

Hybalt Defense Industries is a conglomerate of arms companies based in the Commonwealth of Granzi. We have a long and proud history of supplying the international community with the highest-quality military hardware that money can buy. Since our conception over eighty years ago, HDI has branched out from its traditional concentration in naval technology to include products in the land and aerial combat market as well. At its peak, HDI is one of the largest storefronts on NationStates, doing an estimated $2,659,848,700,000 worth of sales in one week’s period. (May 20-May 27).

Now, you can own a piece of HDI. After careful consideration, the Executive Board has concluded that the time is appropriate to once again release corporate stock for public purchase on the Commonwealth Stock Exchange. Hybalt Defense Industries has in the last twenty years rebuilt much of the infrastructure destroyed during the Commonwealth of Granzi’s Second Civil War. However, additional investment is needed to complete reconstruction of HDI holdings and pave the way for future development. Therefore, the capital raised from the initial offering will be used to expand Hybalt operations through investments in shipyard capacity, research of emerging technologies, and development of military hardware.

During a series of internal trading prior to public release, the members of the Executive Board together secured a 51% majority stake of all voting stock. In addition, the Granzian government, in acknowledgment of their instrumental role in rebuilding the company, was given an option to purchase an estimated 15% stake in HDI. Commerce Minister Dominique Lars accepted this offer, and when combined with all domestic trades, left the last 20% of stock for foreign acquisition.

A total of 20 billion voting shares will be floated on the open market. Titled Class A stock, the shares will be sold to international investors in bundles of 10,000. Foreign governments are welcome to purchase shares, although preference is given to private investment companies or individuals. The Executive Board has decided to place a cap on initial purchases: no single entity, whether government, corporation, or individual, will be allowed to purchase upfront more than 625 million shares of Class A stock. Please note that this cap does not apply to trades between shareholders; once you purchase HDI stock, you may buy from and sell to other investors.


Please address all inquires to Deloras Swift, CEO of Hybalt Defense Industries.

Record Defense Contract Awarded to HDI
Granzi Financial Times

GRANZI CITY- Hybalt Defense Industries (ticker: HDI) today announced the finalization of a deal that promises to reinvigorate the massive arms exporter. The contract with the nation of Emporer Pudu, valued an estimated 14 trillion USD, was to modernize that state’s navy over a period of thirty years. Hybalt CEO Deloras Swift said that the first phase of construction had already begun at HDI shipyards across the Commonwealth. In addition, she mentioned that manufacturing would also take place overseas under domestic oversight.

“To meet the terms outlined in the contract, one of which is speed, HDI has found it necessary to complete part of the order in Emperor Pudu. The government there has graciously made available to our technicians the facilities needed for such an enormous undertaking. Obviously, we are very honored that the military of Emporer Pudu has placed their faith in our products. We have done business with their nation many decades before, and it is particularly gratifying to receive another order after so many years.”

Investors at the Commonwealth Stock Exchange (CSE) were surprised at the scope of the arms deal. Analyst Ryan Moore of Market Watch, an economic thinktank, said that the arrangement promised profitability at the company for at least the next decade. “What we are seeing is an aggressive statement by HDI, asserting that they do have the potential for growth in the long term. The fact that the contact is with a former partner hints at the loyal customer base that Hybalt is trying to re-establish.”

HDI shares finished the day up 39 points to close at $400 a share.

Robert Merillion looked over the article and sighed. He turned to his aide and gave her an order:
"I've never been one to gamble but this stock seems stable and I need to diversify into the international sector.
Go ahead and authorize the purchase of twenty five thousand Class A Shares of HDI."

The aide quickly typed up a stock purchasing telegram and sent it off to HDI, along with a confirmation code for the release of $7,650,000 from an obscure Phoenix Dynamix fund.

HDI Stock Proves Popular Among Foreign Investors
__________________
Granzi Financial Times

GRANZI CITY- Activity on the Commonwealth Stock Exchange (CSE) was frenzied today, in part due to a better-than-expected showing by Hybalt Defense Industry’s initial offering. Hybalt (ticker: HDI) made an estimated twenty billion shares available to foreign investors yesterday, following the end of domestic trading that had locked up nearly 80-percent of all Class A stock. Analysts had expected a modest showing by HDI, considering that the company’s infrastructure was still incomplete. The company had also reported mediocre first-quarter earnings, due in large part to reduced brand awareness that had in years past fueled growth.

Before the day was done, however, nearly four billion shares had been sold, many in the first few minutes of trading. The rush was driven in large part by the purchases of wealthy foreign individuals. Among the notables was a Mr. Clark from Errikland and Caesar Jason Scotus Lupus of The Transylvania who both purchased the maximum number of Class A shares possible: 625 million.

Frankly, I don't think anyone expected the level of interest in HDI that appeared, remarked Deloras Swift, Chief Financial Officer. Our company hopes to live up to these high expectations, as we continue to design new products at the cusp of technology.

In addition, rumors of a possible collaboration between HDI and the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland surfaced in late trading yesterday. The Royal Shipyards, which made a purchase of 500 million shares, had purportedly sent the offer via a secure communication with Hybalt CEO Deloras Swift. When asked to comment, HDI spokesperson Samantha West only said, There are no concrete plans at the moment to work on a joint design with any other corporation. Still, speculation helped push HDI shares even higher, finishing the trading day at $331.

The CSE ended the day up 27 points to close at 23,584.

All orders up to now are confirmed. The COMECON has purchased 625 million Class A shares per the cap on the initial stock release.
