I care Vince

When ASM first started selling the private placement under ASMA1 the float of the company stood at 25 Million... and of that float 1 million or 4% was ear marked for the private placement. I beleive they sold batches of 50,000 - 100,000 to a total of 250,000 prior to the lock up and then trading after superbowl.

Then the split sequence occured and the company float adjusted accordingly

1st - 50 million sharess outstanding after 2:1
2nd - 100 million shares outstanding after 2:1
3rd - 200 million shares outstanding after 2:1
4th - 500 million shares outstanding after 5/2 split

So.. today, we have been told that the non-brokered private placement of this company now represents 200 million common shares of ASM Inc. or 40% of the entire company float.

This is not uncommon when companies are aiming to go public. IPO restirctions mandate how many shares insiders can retain to have majority control over the company.

Of the 60% that remains, I figure that 9% has or will be given away as incentives to athletes and celebrities to jump on board. This would leave the management team with 51% control of the company and have rough 50 Million shares to play with to attract people to the US business.

AGain this is all just speculation on my part.

I'll answer the question for you Tripple.

Yes I believe they have sold the first 100 million shares.

Paul,

I understand where the total float comes from. My question is who's shares these 200MM are. I wish MMForum had not been wiped, as basewarrior and I had posed this question there and had spent a decent amount of time sifting through available historical ASM forum posts regarding ASMA1's float and ownership breakdown and showing how the numbers were confusing. After taking the public share, Chris's and Glock's, and any others that had been specifically accounted for, there was less than 200MM left in the pot. Crispy had even responded saying he agreed the 200MM was inconsistent with the information Chris had provided us in the past...perhaps I'll go back through the data again and repost...

I'm sure it's reasonable that perhaps some of these shares are Chris's and Glock's, but then it begs the question why he didn't disclose it the way he has disclosed insider transaction intent in the past.

Funny coincidence that the other supposedly non-ASM-run forum had a data loss too...

John,

Absolutely, to put 200 MM up as a private placement - a large portion would have to come from managements holdings.

A lot of questions will be answered over the next few months as they create the prospectus and start mailing out certifcates with instructions for registration with US brokers.

Sometimes when you post, I just crack-up.

Just too funny.....

I would say I'm chuckling right now....

I'm wondering at this important time why there hasn't been a post on ASM's forum for over 5 days. There wasn't even the predictable countdown before the last IPO. I hope this means Chris is too busy rather than in some sort of trouble.
