UBU TV: Exit Strategy • UBU TV actually begins with its primary, exit strategy: going public as an OTCBB company, so as to make its shareholders’ investment more liquid and more profitable, while also adding value to the company. • UBU TV will then have access to the private and public capital markets, a national network of market makers, financial public relations firms and a “corporate friendly” float. • UBU TV’s secondary exit strategy is to add sufficient value to the company so as to be attractive to larger media companies who like to acquire media companies and brands.
UBU TV: The Deal • Invest at a 62.5% discount to market value (i.e., 75 cents on the dollar) for UBU TV stock to be restricted for one year after “going public.” • Within approximately 120 days, UBU TV will “go public” and have a national network of market makers and public relations firms promoting and/or trading its stock. Each UBU TV milestone (e.g., launch, key signings, revenues or profits generated, strategic alliances announced, acquisitions made, press releases, etc.) can and should have a positive impact on UBU TV stock. • Initial investors should realize an attractive return on their investment in UBU TV.*
UBU TV: The Deal (Continued) • Minimum Capital Investment is $10,000 • Expected Hold Period is 16 months for stock to become un-restricted and free-trading • Expected Return for Early Investors: • $10,000 purchase of UBU stock at $0.75/unit • $26,667 value at $2.00/unit upon going public • 167% Return on Investment, due to 62.5% market discount and without any trade activity • Stock Market principles: • Stocks tend to go up upon dissemination of good news • Stocks tend to go down in value upon …bad news • The company, its market makers and PR firms expect a lot of good news (signings, deals, milestones) in Year 1 • We expect to have a corporate friendly float, which is better to avoid shorts and to maintain stock equity.
