No one in their right mind will buy SH. Best to figure out a way to run it with fewest people possible. Lean mean cash producing. Then take all the other bets and move them into their own company, let them succeed on their own merit

Are you saying that TB can pull out any asset from any of its companies in the portfolio and give it to any other company under their control without any paper work or financial remuneration? Or gobble the money when sold?

It depends on how it is structured. Option 1 is newdivison stays under rvbd - sure there is no cash exchanged, option 2 is the new division is separated and promoted under TB as a rvbd-peer. What I am saying is option 2 will require some financial adjustment.

You may be a cpa, but we are execs that have grown to run large companies. We inherited problems.

Say goodbye to Aternity. The question is, who gets to go with.

Any good news about Versa pipeline? One month over already in the quarter. Hoping to see the PMs working hard and producing something that can be sold. As engineers we have done what we could.

Don't get worked up and worry about things you are not supposed to. For any questions just message leadership team. Don't you have their phone numbers from last meetings ? Haha

You guys don’t get it. It is a financial exercise to move assets from one book to another. Dem moves from rvbd book to tb book in ex change for cashk. They are diff legal entities.

"...we are selling DEM to TB"

Why not sell them RVBD while you're at it? TB already owns DEM. Don't spend all those "sale profits" in one plave.

I think we are selling DEM to TB in exchange for a new loan, and thus spin out a new company. If it is eventually sold, The sale profits would be split between TB and RVBD.
