"1. Loral bought the shares from whom?"
I have no particular knowledge of this transaction, but I have simply assumed that additional shares (or partnership rights) would be issued in exchange for the value of Loral's guarantee. Thus the transaction would be dilutive to the partnership. This speculation led me to a question I've wanted to ask for a long time.

What is the reason that the limited partnership was formed in the first place? Why didn't all the partners just form a corporation like GSTRF with shares allotted according to their contribution. And then more shares issued to investors like me in a public offering in order to raise more cash? Alternatively, a new partner might join and be given dilutive shares for their contribution.

I just don't get the need for the intermediate legal entity.

I suspect they answered this question while I skipped class that time in grade school. L.
