1. What is an IPO?
Initial Public Offering mean putting shares in a company available for sale
to the public.
2. What is the share price, and how many will be issued?
The IPO price for 1 share was 10,000,000 ISK.
A total of 3600 shares were issued.
3. How do shares work?
Shares work in two ways:
- They give you a regular monthly income from the dividend payouts and
- They are an investment in the sense that you can resell them at the value
you bought at, perhaps higher, if it is a good investment.
4. How do I buy shares?
As the IPO is finished, you can only buy shares from existing shareholders.
Due to the risk of scams, N.A.G.A. has agreed to act as a 3rd party for the
re-sale of shares between players and corporations. Please contact N.A.G.A.
after you have found a seller.
5. What happens if I transfer less than 100M ISK?
N/A. All Shares sold.
7. What is the expected monthly dividend % on the shares?
The monthly dividend is anticipated to be around 5%, or 500,000 ISK per share
per month.
8. How can I resell my shares?
Until the Eve ingame mechanics regarding trading of shares is re-implemented,
we have made arrangements with N.A.G.A. to act as neutral broker for ISSMO share
trading. This is to stop players scamming each other.
9. What is to stop the issue of more shares?
After the initial IPO, no further shares will be issued. This is protected by
in-game mechanics as Issuing additional shares requires a vote by all current
share holders.
10. How will ISK be generated for the dividends?
Multiple revenue streams will be used to generate revenue based on available
game mechanics.
At this time they include:
- Docking Fees
- Rents (Offices, Factories, Labs)
- Repair Fees
- Selling copies of the outpost BPO
- Clone Contracts
Additionally a one-off bonus to dividends will come through the auctioning of
offices.
11. How much of the outpost revenue will be put to dividend?
100%.
The POS surrounding the station for security and maintiain ownership of the
station will be at the expense of the ISS and independently profitable.
12. How do I get an office in the outpost?
Since we are building a Gallente outpost, we have 16 offices available.
3 Offices will be reserved for: ISS Operations, ISS Navy Task Force, ISS Logistics
5 Offices will be reserved for the alliances controlling each of: Catch, Immensea,
Impass, Tenerifis & Stain
The 8 remaining offices will be offered as follows:
- To Investors who invest more than 3 Bn ISK will automatically be offered an
office.
- If any remain, they will be auctioned on the Eve-Online forums.
13. How will the risk of the Outpost being taken from the ISS be reduced?
The outpost is supported by the neighbouring alliances, who are also the major
beneficiaires of the outpost, both because they are shareholders in ISSMO and
because of the infrastructure upgrade it represents to the region. In terms
of security, sovereignty of the system containing the outpost will be ensured
by a heavily defended group of POS. Management of the POS will be performed
by ISS management corporations (ISS Logistics, ISS Navy Task Force, ISS Operations,
ISS Marginis Outpost Corporation).
14. Who will defend the station?
The outpost system will be heavily fortified with POS. ISS Navy Task Force will
defend the system along with mercenaries on an as needed basis.
15. Will I be able to dock at the station?
To encourage trade, the ISS Marginis Outpost will be open to all pilots, pending
them screwing with the operations of the outpost (see next faq).
16. Who won't be able to dock at the station?
To begin with, all pilots and corporations can dock at the outpost. Pilots,
corporations or alliances will be set to -ve standings and incur either penalty
surcharges or denied docking privileges for the following:
- Committing acts of piracy regularly in the outpost system and neighbouring
systems resulting in a major disruption of trade
- Committing acts of aggression towards the ISS including:
- Declaring war on the ISS
- Accepting or Initiating Mercinary contracts against
the ISS
- Setting -ve standings towards the ISS
- Declaring ISS alliance pilots KOS (Kill on Sight)
17. What will the docking fees be?
The docking fees are linked to the volume of the ship and will be raised or
lowered at the discretion of the ISS to maintain investor returns. Initially
we are planning on 0.4 x the ships volume. To name a couple of typical examples:
- A Bestower or Viator will be charged in the vicinity of 100.000 ISK
- A Charon (Freighter) 6,500,000.
While this may seem high, it is a small percentage of the profiability of buying/selling
20,000m3 or 900,000m3 of goods respectively.
18. What will the broker and transaction tax fees be?
Broker fees and Transaction fees will be the same as any NPC station in EVE
19. Who will manage the outpost?
Technically the ISS Marginis Outpost corporation, but in practice, the ISS Operations
corporation.
20. Where will the outpost be located?
We have evaluated a short-list of locations. It will be in the extreme southern
part of Providence, perhaps in the northern part of Catch that leads into Providence.
The exact system will not be announced until the outpost is completed for security
reasons.
21. What kind of outpost is it going to be?
It is going to be a Gallente outpost for the market functionality. Without a
market, it wouldn't be much of a trade hub.
The Gallente Outpost station has 16 offices, 4 Factories, 4 Labs, Market, Medical,
Repair, Fitting, Cloning and Insurance facilities.
22. What happens to my ISK if you can’t raise enough capital to build
the outpost?
N/A. Sufficient Capital was raised to build the outpost.
23. What happens if you need to change policy on any of the investment critical
FAQ?
It will be put to a shareholder vote.
24. So if this is so great, why doesn't the ISS just buy all the shares?
If we had enough ISK we would!
But seriously, two reasons:
- Shares need to be sold to the neighbouring alliances for stability
- The ISS alone doesn't have enough ISK.
