Vonage IPO

Quote from winter:

It appears that some customers that participated in the directed-share program are balking at actually going through with paying for their allocated shares (that have dropped more than 30% since the IPO). And now because of errors VG committed they actually may get away with it. Also the lawsuits have started already ("materially false and misleading joint Registration Statement and Proxy-Prospectus")

This was already planned by these piker investors in the first place. See this previous post before the IPO

Quote from cohenmichaela:

The fine print for the Vonage customer IPO offering states that you must fund the limited brokerage account within three days AFTER Vonage trades publicly. It also says that in order to receive profits from the sale of these offered shares you must fund the account.

Would it then be possible to make a conditional offer for IPO shares and then sit on it for a day after the shares trade public? If it's in the money then sell the shares and fund the account. Otherwise walk away.

Is this realistic or am I being overly opportunistic here. It seems like a risk free bet. Will men with guns knock on my door if I don't pay up and walk away from the transaction?
 
VG is quite unlucky :(, I doubt any of those investors would've even read top secret info about the company if it were sent to their hands.
Anyways, now we know that we should make our own contracts in real estate etc bulletproof :p

chapter 11...not likely
 
i doubt a ch 11. But check this out... This is a statement released by vonage.

The price you will pay in this offering for each share of our common stock will exceed the per share value attributed from our tangible assets less our total liabilities. Therefore, if we distributed our tangible assets to our stockholders following this offering, you would receive less value per share of common stock than you paid in this offering. Assuming an initial public offering price of $17.00 per share (the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) the net tangible book value adjusted for the net proceeds of this offering at March 31, 2006 was approximately $433.1 million, or approximately $2.78 per share. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets less our total consolidated liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering you will suffer immediate dilution of $14.22 per share in pro forma net tangible book value. This dilution is due in large part to the fact that our earlier investors paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares of our capital stock and the losses we have incurred.
