1. Why are there available only non-voting stock? Is there a risk as a shareholder of those stocks that I will be getting a lower return?
The project is very complex and requires a stable leadership structure that is why we have opted to provide investors with only non-voting stock. We do however reserve the right to upgrade those stocks to common stocks for certain shareholders. As a shareholder of non-voting stock you will be getting the same dividends as common stock shareholders but you will not be allowed to vote in the shareholders’ meeting. We are looking for investors that want to finance the project but are not interested in getting involved in the sometimes tedious details of running such a project.
2. I am concerned about alleged human rights issues. Is the company running the project a Tamoran or a Zimalian one because it’s not clear.
The company owning the future dam and the one you are invited to invest is a limited liability company (LLC) registered in Zimalia. It has indeed Tamoran shareholders (as well as Zimalian ones) but the company is registered in Zimalia and is fully compliant with all the laws and regulations of Zimalia.
3. Can anyone invest?
We are looking for private investors, so we would rather see companies, individuals, NGOs etc investing in the project and not governments. The project while fully compliant with all the laws and regulations of Zimalia is not a government owned or operated enterprise. So while governments are allowed to invest, we will give priority to non-government actors wishing to invest.
Aside from that, all citizens and companies are invited to invest expect for those registered or resident in Slava Lavosk. Furthermore, should you be a resident or registered in Kaitaine, please make sure you have appropriate papers issue by the government there: the
Theocracy of Kaitaine. We know there is some confusion regarding this, so only appropriate papers form the Free Theocracy of Kaitaine will be accepted in order to be compliant with the laws and regulations of Kaitaine, of course. The company does not and will not engage in political activity and is not interested in taking side over the conflict raging in Kataine.
4. A 4% average return is rather small compared to other similar projects. Why is that?
The aim of the project is to help build a sustainable economy in Zimalia. Once the dam will be completed and running we aim to provide cheaper energy, sometimes even below market value, to companies that have an ethical business model. The same is true for irrigation water. While the company owning the dam will be making a profit, we also balance that with other interests like ethics in the business environment. We believe a 4% expected return (but not guaranteed), although not the best available in Mundus( for this type of projects) is still a reasonable return for investors, especially those who are interested in building a sustainable economy.
5. How does Zimalia and Zimalians benefit from this?
Well first of all, as said above the company that will own the future dam is registered in Zimalia. While the shareholders will be from all over Mundus, the company and the dam are Zimalian and will stay in Zimalia. Furthermore, during the construction for the project thousands of Zimalians will be employed while hundreds will be employed after the project is completed. Also, the project will help boost the Zimalian economy by providing energy and irrigation. All these will help Zimalia and Zimalians in general.
6. Where does the name Haghighi come from?
The future dam is named after the
latest martyr in Tamora's long list of martyrs. It is meant to honor her name and to keep her memory alive.
7. I have heard that the dam will be constructed in a mostly Afolayan area. I have heard allegations of discrimination against them. Is this project harming them?
Not all, nothing could be further from the truth. Not only are we in constant contact with the Zimalian government to address any issues regarding this but also the Afolayan tribe
holds a majority in Zimalia with approx. 60% of the population belonging to that tribe. Any attempt to infringe upon their rights would see the Afolayan people vote out their current government.
Furthermore, we are now making preparations with MAZ( Manist Association of Zimalia) to handle any displaced Afolayans and take care of them.
8. Will the project start only after the 5 bln are raised? What happens if you don’t manage to raise the amount?
We will begin construction as soon as possible without waiting to raise all the funds. The initial investment by the Tamoran shareholders is approx. 1.5 bln dinars (USD) and that is enough to get us started. The investment opportunity will be opened until we reach our 5 bln goal. Should we however be unable to raise the 5 bln needed we will look to other options to finance the project.
9. I am still not convinced that the project legitimate and/or I have some doubts about legal or ethical issues.
Please feel free to contact the Zimalian Union of Labour, Manist Assocation of Zimalia (MAZ) or the appropriate branch of the Zimalian government. They can attest the project is not only genuine but also in full compliance with Zimalian laws.
