$SPCL Hey CG1! Nice to see you over here as well
Post# of 2913
I can only speculate on the questions and points you directed my way. First, the shell itself may be of some value, which I'm sure is an obvious point, so I won't expand or belabor that concept further. Second, when I looked at Solaris' technology, it appeared to me that the energy captured was stored immediately(as see here: http://www.solarispowercells.com/).
Why does that matter, or since we are speculating, why could it matter? I have two takes and both tie together. Number one is that Pixelmag could be seeking tax breaks considering its revenue structure, so merging with a green company such as Solaris, there could be offsets favorable to Pixel. My number two reason is that, by the ramifications of the merger, the technology then becomes available, which may provide lesser overhead once implemented, and may even hold some merit as to using the energy storage immediacy factor in such a way that they can parallel that over to information and more efficient transfer of print media to its respective online format.
I believe your question regarding the 8-k was touched upon either in the DD or by another investor on the other SPCL board. I believe the lack of disclosure was contractual and was and is not Solaris' place to share outside of mandatory legal filings required by the SEC. If memory serves me correctly, it is Pixel's information to share publicly when it is time. To me, that makes sense. Pixel's value is much greater than Solaris', so why arrange the dissemination of info in such a way that the smaller fish can compromise the bigger fish, which then leads to a lose-lose for the both of them. Let the bigger fish disclose the information, as it more capable of bouncing back from any potential misstep in doing so, and can theoretically, under honest pretenses, save the smaller fish from the hook.
