The purpose of an IPO is to generate capital. Joe

If my above reasoning is correct, then NGIO will still have 340M treasury shares to sell for future capital and GNBT will have, on paper at $5/share, $1,808,214,810 worth of NGIO stock. I would think that with this much paper value, the GNBT price should rise to at least NASDAQ qualification. This should be no different than as if an intuitional investor (Vanguard, Blackrock, etc.) held the NGIO stock. Side thought/question; with NGIO not being a subsidiary of GNBT but an independent company, could GNBT infuse NGIO with additional capital, if needed, with money made by selling some of NGIO shares they hold? Obviously GNBT could raise capital by selling some of their NGIO position.
It looks to me that the role of Oasis Capital https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/18045...form8k.htm in the IPO, is to insure that a $5 minimum share price is maintained by buying up to the $50 million need for the NGIO capital infusion. Since I have never dealt with “futures”, how the “puts” calculations in the Oasis agreement is a mystery to me. So the earlier statement could be completely a misunderstanding on my part.
