RE:RE:What a mess
RE:RE:What a messNow why didn't I think of that?! It's still problematic, though. Why would you give away equity so cheaply? Would I be interested in taking a slice of the whole business, rather than taking a royalty off the top? To be honest, I am not sure. I'm primarily an income investor and usually not especially interested in ownership of a restaurant - it's too volatile for me. Then there is the question of an appetite in the public markets - I wonder if there would be more interest if a public offering was combined with the launch of a franchise model that might provide a pathway to growth?

Perhaps a complex undertaking, but this idea is much more palatable to me than some $3.50 buyout garbage. It would provide SIR CORP with a public vehicle and ability to access capital markets much more easily than what it faces today - a lender (BNS) who has seemingly severely restricted the ability for the current structure to operate (in that accrued commitments are supposed to be paid to fund holders), The addition of a larger equity component allows SIR with a more viable currency.
