sweet :-D
I hate to sound happy about something that seems so horrible but it looks good to me, I don't think AWCom could keep it up for much longer and if this X3D place can do a better job, it'd be great :-) Hopefully they lower the prices, too :-P hehe. [View Quote] agent1May 21, 2002, 2:51pm
That SEC report only says that a certain portion of AWC shares were sold...
Since AWC is incorporated in Delaware, shareholders don't have any "say" in how the company is run. The second article has nothing to do with this transaction; simply the company buying stock. -Agent1 [View Quote] kahMay 21, 2002, 3:47pm

Won't make any difference, they only bought some stock, you don't suddently own a company even though you bought stock in it! KAH jermeMay 21, 2002, 5:19pm
But why would JP and Rick sell 600,000 shares each? At $.15... that's
$180,000 dollars changing hands. Seems a little excessive to me... I think this other company is planning something. Maybe they just want to have their foot in the door, so when AW bites the dust they'll have an advantage. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker JTech Web Systems (www.JTechWebSystems.com -- Coming Soon) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [View Quote] zeo toxionMay 21, 2002, 6:55pm
Maybe but look at the bright side. Maybe this will start up the highly
needed marketing change for AW and maybe if we had new managment we could finally take some large steps in the right direction. Let's just hope the best comes out of this. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A message from Zeo Toxion -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [View Quote] builderzMay 21, 2002, 9:34pm
Not so with AWC. They are incorporated under Delaware law, where a
hostile takeover (buying 51% of a stock and saying you own it) does not apply. This has been discussed in the past (even Eep has told others about this). -Builderz [View Quote] kahMay 22, 2002, 3:46pm

Bad a math Carl? Your comment is factually wrong.
It says that JP and Rick sold approx. 25% of their own personal shares of AW stock. Their shares were only approx. 50% of AW shares, therefore 25% of that is far less than AW selling half as you wrongly commented. It also falls in line with the intended merger that was reported. Simply put... They cashed out cheap for a few measly dollars when they found a buyer willing to take some of the paper. After taxes they get far less and even at sale it was only $90,000.00 each. That is hardly a reason to even open up a company.

X3D own about 14% now, and as they own more than 10% they want to have a shareholder meeting to throw two AWC board of director members now... see http://awnews.com/html/ for more info about this.
