Food for thought ~ think over In case of rights issue, there is an option given to the existing shareholders that they may renounce the rights issue so offered to any persons. These any persons can be outsiders also. 1. because outsiders may be involved will it indirectly take shape of private placement (bypasing of direct private placement); 2. shouldn't rights issue and private placement be read harmoniously

Did you know, April 18, 1983 was a day that changed the tech landscape forever? It's the anniversary of the Osborne Executive, the original portable computer that made huge waves in the industry. Let me take you down memory lane… the Osborne Computer Corporation unveiled the Osborne Executive as the successor to the Osborne 1. Legend has it, the early announcement of the Executive sent shockwaves through the tech world, leading dealers to cancel orders for the Osborne 1 faster than you can say "upgrade." Oops. This infamous blunder apparently crippled the company's cash flow, sending it spiraling towards bankruptcy. But there's more to the story. While what’s now known as the ‘Osborne Effect’ may have played a role, tech history is rarely black and white. Competition from rising rivals, the arrival of the IBM PC, and a dash of mismanagement also helped doom the business. Despite its tumultuous journey, the Osborne Executive remains a symbol of innovation and the ever-changing nature of the tech industry. Did you own, use, or even see one of these? #TechHistory #OsborneExecutive #FunFriday

Twilio Sinch 😡 Why so much #Scamtexts in the USA well when only 2 #sms messaging hubs for AT&T T-Mobile Verizon and they are #cpaas companies. That profit off Spamtexts. Ya might have and epidemic on your hands. 78 billion spamtexts how we got here and why so Syniverse There was a third but🤦♂️well watch Clip below Dumbest Ever: How tyntec went from a billion-dollar company to one where the founder wants to buy us all out for a dollar. 🤯 Oh, and it gets even better from this point onwards. Nicola Wolfram and #ThorstenTrapp then completely turned the tables on what could be the most no-conscience, disloyal private equity group on the planet. Almost as disloyal as the ruthless team of CEO and founder, who were fired and out on the street when I saved them. Although I hear Fast Eddie DeCurtis Shush Inc 🤫 says he saved them 😏but won’t come on the show with Alan Quayle and me to discuss. Here is my back-and-forth with the #MeyerBrown attorney after I found out what happened. **Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2017 11:21 PM To: De Simone, Joseph Subject: I need a lawyer** Hey Joe, I might be thinking of suing Thorsten and Nicola in Germany, and I need a good lawyer. I am sure they will give you the OK to represent me against them. Now, think about how crazy that sounds. Sound familiar? Let me know when you want to play some golf, and I'm going to need some strokes. His response:** Very funny!

A couple of weeks ago, I authored a post that questioned a Massachusetts State Senate proposal to merge the Massachusetts Growth Capital Corporation (MGCC) into the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency. I will not rehash the reasons I questioned the viability of this proposed merger nor will I rehash why I thought this could be a bad outcome for the mission of MGCC and the small business, especially minority-owned and women-owned businesses that MGCC (a result of a merger itself) was created to serve. I read, in today's Commonwealth Magazine article, that the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts (BECMA), which is led by Nicole Obi, and Amplify LatinX, which is led by Eneida Roman jointly penned a letter to the Speaker of the MA House of Representatives and the President of the MA Senate, to urge that the House and Senate omit this merger language from the Economic Development Bond Bill, and instead, if such a proposal is to be pursued, let it be pursued through the normal bill filing and committee hearing processes. I applaud BECMA and Amplify LatinX, and their respective leaders, for their advocacy and leadership on this matter. This is a public policy question that goes beyond questions of efficiency; we should factor into the equation questions of effectiveness and equity. Hopefully, each of these questions will be. #accessandopportunity #efficiencyisnotalwaystheanswer #yestoeffectiveadvocacy7
