Hi there all you {{{{{DGIVAHOLICS}}}}}, here is a unedited email I received from Rodger Templeton last night. It is a response to my emails to him (moosies can be persistant when disturbed) concerning the shareholders meeting letter rumoured to have been received by some on the thread.
A new edition of our Digitcom Investor News should be coming to this email address within the next few days that will be a general update on the Company's progress on various fronts. But, to answer your immediate question, "(a) Is the issuance of preferred shares true, (b) what was the stock used for? (c) Will this not just further dilute the price?" I can say this:
(a) Any authorization of preferred shares, or increase in common shares or creation of new classes of shares, has to come from a vote of the shareholders. This hasn't occured, and there have been no new shares authorized or issued as of this date. The Board and CEO has seen the strategic benefit of having the shareholders authorize the creation of new classes of shares and of increasing the authorization of common shares so that (b) Management will have some negotiating flexibility in prospective merger & acquisition initiatives as well as other venture opportunities.
A Notice to Shareholders of a planned meeting where that shareholder authorization could take place was sent out by the Company's transfer agent. We soon realized that there is great interest in attending such a meeting on the part of many more shareholders than was anticipated. So, to provide adequate time for folks to make travel plans and reservations (and to accommodate them all in one room), the announced meeting date has been cancelled. A new meeting date (and probably different location) will be announced with adequate advance notice to shareholders so most everyone's logistics can be handled.
(c) Merely authorizing classes of shares or increasing the number of shares of common that are authorized has no effect on the dilution of the value of presently outstanding shares. Only the conditions under which new shares are actually ISSUED will have any bearing on the dilution of share VALUE. The effect on the market share PRICE that an increased shareholder authorization will have probably will depend on what the investors think of the direction the company is going, and what the market thinks of the effect of issued shares will have on the underlying value of the Company, and therefore their own shares.
Digitcom's management is committed to maintaining strong underlying value to the Company's stock, and, while fluctuations in that AND the price of DGIV shares can be expected, over time the constant goal is to build the Company to the benefit of our partners, shareholders, and customers.
Please watch your email for more on the questions you've raised and discussion of the rationale of Management regarding the authorization of new classes of shares, etc.
And, thanks for joining in,
Roger Templeton Digitcom
Publicly I want to thank Roger for his reply to my questions, and I also want to thank Jimmy Chin for taking time out of his busy schedule to call me and answer some of my questions regarding Digitcom as well. I have been a shareholder of Digitcom since late March and am as confident in my investment now as I was in March.
