>>5826843>IPO as an independent companyQM: ok, Hunter Vandenberg of the Vertigo Pact is incensed and infuriated that OTHRIGEN Scientific has spurned his takeover attempt, we shall see his response shortly.
Despite having an enterprise to sales multiple of INFINITY, because Othrigen Scientific actually is a pre-revenue research institute with no actual product, the company debuts across various interstellar bourses and trading exchanges under the catchy ticker ORGI because it sounds like, well, an orgy or sex rampage. This alone contributes immensely to the corporate brand and intangible assets for its valuation. Now you must decide the following - first, some modifiers:
0 Might (no modifier; not categorised within defense industry)
+5 Prosperity
+7 Industry
+16 Knowledge
+5 Interns assisting with laborious pitch decks and tedious investor presentations, that will be left unread and mostly get used as decorative / absorbent cutlery food plate mats at various investor lunches
+5 meme ORGI ticker attracts attention of sex-crazed day traders
+20 (from special asset STARDOM CULT) insane market hype mania over xenoarchaeology as the new hottest thing, even though no-one knows what it is
optional:
>(+20) hire investment bankers: the initial fee is 150 ISD and they demand 5% of IPO proceeds. If something goes wrong, you can blame them. They also provide price stabilisation by underwriting the offer (see greenshoe option below)>(+5) hire PR firm: their initial fee is 50 ISD>(-5) hire lawyers: they actually slow down the process with legalistic scrutiny and endless due diligence, but will make you feel less likely to be pursued by irate investors if anything goes wrong. Cost is 50 ISD>(-5) greenshoe over-allotment clause: will enable price stabilisation on the first day of trading, as brokers purchase a portion of the initial block of securities offered. If the IPO is a success, it increases the gain further by 1.15x If the IPO is a failure, your costs are reduced to 0.85x the incurred loss>(-5) favoured allocations: make special promises to third parties that you will guarantee them allocated blocks of shares at discount in exchange for various future favours. This is actually illegal but happens all the time anyway>(+10) market manipulation: engage in blatantly illegal laddering or pump-and-dump tactics to hype up the value of your stock day one. If anyone finds out later, you could bribe the regulators, for instance by offering their children placements on your lucrative internship program-5 mysterious negative PR campaign from unknown sources, alleging nefarious doings at Othrigen Scientific Arcturus Xenoarchaeology Research Institute
