Shareholder Koza proposes to help Gold Horse International. 13D/A filed 10/9/2012
Mike Koza (12,7% shareholder) thinks Gold Horse may go dark because costs staying listed are bigger than the benefits (raising capital, image, etc...). He proposes to help them. Here is an excerpt from SC 13D/A he filed yesterday (Koza=Reporting Person):
The Reporting Person may take actions as deemed appropriate, possibly in conjunction with other shareholders, including one or more of the following:
1. Offering to pay all or part of the expenses (including back pay) of continued U.S. listing, including the re-hiring of Mr. Li (the fiscal year 2012 Chief Financial Officer) or an alternate Chief Financial Officer to be agreed upon;
2. Encouraging the Issuer to make a tender offer for all outstanding shares;
3. Assisting the Issuer in voluntarily deregistering its common stock, and arranging for the dissemination of periodic financial information to shareholders of the Issuer, in a simple format agreeable to the Issuer and shareholders. This outcome would be acceptable only if the SEC did not deny voluntary deregistration;
4. Entering into negotiations with China-based shareholders of the Issuer to sell to these shareholders the shares owned by the Reporting Person. According to a Form 10-K filed by the Issuer on October 6, 2008, 36 individuals residing in China purchased 55,481 shares (split-adjusted) from the Issuer for $2,219,252 in 2007. The purchase price was $40 per share (split-adjusted). Although the reported book value per share of the Issuer has roughly doubled from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2012, according to SEC filings, the Reporting Person would be willing to sell his shares to China-based shareholders at a significant discount to the amounts paid per share by these China-based shareholders in 2007. The Reporting Person believes that many of the China-based shareholders of the Issuer are employees of the Jin Ma Companies, which are controlled by the Issuer through contractual agreements;
5. Assisting the Issuer in unwinding its variable-interest entity structure.
