RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:EVT SIBValid question Method. And welcome back :) The costs and requirements of a public company are substantial is of course the short answer. The doublding of your family net worth at a tiny fractional cost is more likely the real answer. I don't remember the numbers however it was something like a savings of 10 million dollars a year for ELF to privatize. Compound that over decades and of course the number is compelling. Hundreds of millions of dollars saved. Not to mention the privacy that comes with being a private entity. More importantly doubling the pre tax value f ~3.3m shares for the price of 300k shares seems like a good deal.
Why be a public company if you aren't utlizing capital markets on the equity side? You can always issue debt easily.
If you don't mine my asking, do you still hold a position in the stock?
