This page gives information about the
property rights within the Holding.
All intellectual property rights are in the hands of the Holding So
Speak!....Ltd
Participants become co-owners of the rights.
The
participants
By BUSINESS-investors we mean participants, more than shareholders.
In our view these are often prosperous companies/organizations or
wealthy individuals professionally engaged in accruing ”returns”.
Returns may, but not necessarily, be financial in nature; Returns can
also be:
bringing about social or societal change for the benefit of (their)
target Group,
or money value continuation cq. increasing of the value of your money;
or increasing of knowledge / network / markets / imago, etc..
In short:
BUSINESS investors who want to invest in us are active in initiating
“the light of socio-economic progress”.
Over a period of 5 years, all participants invest a total amount of €
25.000.000 (TWENTY FIVE MILLION EURO’s) in the Holding Ltd.
Participants can thus obtain a joint total of 80% of the shares in the
Holding BV.
The other 20 percent, the so-named ‘priority shares’, are intended for
Casting International.
Casting International brings a value of €. 5.000.000 (FIVE MILLION
EURO’s) into the holding through intellectual property rights of
fomats and projects, plus all the work invested over the last 25
years, and a % for goodwill.
These
financial
underpinnings can be
accessed.
To participate, a BUSINESS-investor can take a minimum share of
€25.000 (TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND EURO’s) (= 0,001% stake in the holding
company)
The maximum amount per BUSINESS Funder is € 5,000,000 (FIVE MILLION
EURO’s) (= max 20% share in the Holding)
This maximum per shareholder creates greater and more varied support
within the total.
Participation investments are necessary to cover the costs of the
logistical infrastructure.
During a period of 5 - 7 years, in which we follow a
participation
roadmap.
The logistical
infrastructure that is funded by participants that serves the
Holding consists (amongst
others):
● Formation costs of companies, such as notary fees, Chamber of
Commerce, etc.
● Labour costs for permanent staff and staff-staff executives
● Material costs (computers, software, cameras, sound equipment,
lighting, editing equipment, fixed sets, etc.)
● Office work budgets for variable and fixed costs, such as
rent, gas, water and electricity
● Fees for (external)
consultants.
● Pre-financing of the 3 starting-up documentaries
● All pre-production-realizations
Pre-productions are:
|
- Script-writings
|
(=
prose with the monologues of storytellers) example: |
|
|
- Scenario-writings
|
(=
prose with the film visualizations)
|
|
- Screenplay-writings
|
(=
prose with shooting + editing instructions how the film is
to be made)
|
|
- Productie-breakdowns
|
(=
prose of all renting ingredients image on filming)
|
|
- Financial breakdowns
|
(=
financial underpinning of production costs of the relevant
filming)
|
|
- Expeditie treatments |
(= prose treatise on how realisation
of production targets are described) |
Restrictions in participation for the
participants are:
Participations give ''bare'' co-ownership, ie from the start time and
during the coming 5 years all the powers of the participants are
dressed in procedures by them, except for the following items:
● All keys / formulas as been given in this website;
● The exclusive right of editorial independent of Casting
International in the content of storytelling;
● The directors cut;
● The cinematography- and production standards & policy documents;
Participants mainly direct the management of the commercial and
international cooperation impact.
Why is it interesting to participate
with us?
● You get a high return.
In a period of 5 to 7 years, the participant
receives a 30% fixed interest on the deposited funds
(= ± 6 % average gross interest per year).
● A participant is a shareholder / co-owner of all the rights in the
Holding BV without liability risks,
because the Holding So speak!... Ltd does not deal
with external parties.
● You invest in a socially responsible manner in a social enterprise,
not a commercial enterprice:
money is not the goal, but a necessary means.
● After 5-7 years you receive the biggest advantage: the format will
be rolled out by country:
each country gives 30 % fixed rate on the amount
invested
● The core essence of our business model can be found in
Background
The
Crowd-investors
The crowd investors finance the individual film productions in the
series.
These are in particular private investors.
The maximum investable amount is €. 10,000 (TEN THOUSAND EURO’s) per
film,
or €. 40,000 (FORTY THOUSAND EURO’s) per series (each series consists
of 4 films).
The minimum investable amount is €. 500 (FIVE HUNDRED EURO’s) per
film.
A CROWD-investment gives 40% fixed rate interests in max. 3 years.
This maximum period of 3 years is necessary
because organizing a half years, and the production &
distributions take 2 ½ years.
The most interesting thing about this investment is that the
CROWD-funders contribute to a better World / Charities, which has lots
of extras and great benefits, including:
- |
the opportunity to joint-write some
scripts, and |
- |
The right to 2 presentations (before and after the
expedition), and |
- |
A DVD of the co-financed film, and |
- |
Being able to look at the shootings in Uganda through a
‘’own’’ videoproduction-team. |
