EKS If you don't mind some more questions. I found this in Wikipedia: The type of "shell corporation" described here should not be confused with a "Shell" company which is a specific term used by the Securities and Exchange Commission to refer to a publicly held company with no or nominal assets other than money.[2] An example of a legal use of a shell company is a supplier of store brand groceries that sets up a shell company when dealing with a hard discounter like Aldi. By obscuring its business relation with the discount chain, the supplier prevents diluting the value of its main brand, which sells at much higher prices. So why would EKCS be formed as a shell company?
