OKAY, then.
As the explosive events of the Court on Lunion sink in, we have a whole heap of change to deal with. With the Duchess of Mora claiming the the Ares under eminent domain, and the "Archduke" Norris banishing Gev, Artemis Group in it's previous incarnation is is essentially dead. As we prepare to leap up from the ashes, we have some red tape too deal with.
We ended up getting 110% of the Ares' remaining value: 412,823,400 Cr. Sadly, I'm assuming that we'll need to pay Lunion Taxes on that (16% or -66,051,744 Cr). With Gev having to cash out at the same time, I've cashed out all of the current owners:
***NOTE: THE FOLLOWING FIGURES ARE PROPOSED, NOT FINAL! DON'T START SPENDING!***
32,526,514 | Gev Buyout | 43,368,685 | Charoux Buyout | 43,368,685 | Crow Buyout | 54,210,857 | Hane Buyout | 21,684,343 | Jeff Buyout |

Next I'd like to reserve 50% of the company's liquid assets and then share out the remaining 50% equally between the characters, giving everybody a chance to buy into the new ship and the reborn company. That's 303,046,164 Cr divided 9 ways, or
33,671,796 per Character. Note that this does include Sebastien. I hope you'll agree that's fair, as he's been with the group longer than half of the others, and has certainly contributed to our success. If not, it's not hard to change.
This starts the reorganized company with combined assets of 444,529,029 Cr. (including our equity in the new ship), so shares begin at 4,445,290 Cr per. I'd like to keep a minimum of 20% of the shares reserved as our operating capital, leaving 80 shares that can be purchased. In order to give everybody a chance to start off on a more or less equal footing, I propose that we limit initial share purchases to 10 shares per player (not character).
After that, we re-value the company, and if there are still any shares available for purchase we can allow folks to buy more, up to a certain limit, perhaps 30 shares per player?
What do you think?
EDIT: I just realized that I didn't think about Galen in this. Do we want to cut him a piece of the pie? Or would that run the risk of giving the wrong impression?
