There could be another advantage sought in iequity
Post# of 36728
If iequity were to remain non-controlling, owning no common either, they could not be construed as a control shareholder or even a beneficial shareholder. Therefore, iequity being a non-affiliate, any restricted shares they received pursuant to conversion of $450,000 could be sold in their entirety any time after the holding period expired. If the agreement with iequity called for conversion into free trading shares, these too could be sold in their entirety at any time. On the other hand, affiliates are bound by a formula that limits the amount of free trading shares they can sell in any given quarter. Certainly, this conversion would involve many shares.
The 2013 EOY balance sheet makes annonymous mention of "Notes payable $553,018." No mention of note holders. Whether this includes the $450,000 owed to iequity can't be determiined.
