CT Holdings may buy the 15%, the 11.1Million shares MRKR, after two years. They will pay what an independent appraiser says it is worth. Marker?s management is forbidden to promote the stock or relist it. They will continue to post 10qs and 10k?s etc. Tecnica/Volkl may after two years List on an Exchange and start to cash out.
The purpose of this thread is to try and figure out what value MRKR is. It is not an attempt to hype the stock for a take over or jack up the price CT will have to pay in two years. It is a place to share information that hopefully will keep MRKR stock close to its true value. This will help me make some money on the cheap shares I bought when nobody was paying attention because they were making a fortune on AOL stock.

The business plan calls for $80M in revenue, $3.2M in Net, $17M in shareholder equity two years from now.
