If China invests in Holo, does that mean they'll give up on Niji? or at least reduce EN?

It would also explain why NijiEN gave up on AR....knowing consolidation is to come. And some NijiEN members knowing and taking a break, not just due to 'covid'

False Alarm everyone it's not IPO its Series B Funding:
Series B funding is a type of investment that a startup company can receive in order to grow and expand its business. It typically occurs after the initial startup phase, once the company has achieved some level of success and demonstrated its potential for growth.

During a Series B funding round, the company will seek to raise additional capital from investors in exchange for equity or ownership in the company. The funds raised in a Series B round are typically used to further develop the product or service, expand the team, and scale the business.

In order to secure a Series B investment, a startup will need to have a solid track record of growth and a clear plan for future expansion. This may include having a successful product or service, a strong team with relevant experience, and a strategy for entering new markets or expanding the customer base.

Series B investments are typically larger than the earlier rounds of funding, such as seed and Series A rounds, and may involve a more extensive due diligence process by investors. The investors who participate in a Series B round are often venture capitalists, private equity firms, and institutional investors who are looking for promising startups with the potential for high growth and a significant return on their investment.

Overall, Series B funding is an important step for a startup that has achieved some level of success and is looking to take the next step towards growth and expansion. It can provide the capital needed to develop and scale the business, while also bringing in experienced investors who can offer guidance and support.

Nah, they're listing themselves on the Growth Market. Cursory research indicates that the Growth Market isn't public, it's basically just them listing themselves on the market by saying "Hey, we have a lot of potential for growth, here's our plans, but we need money. Who wants in?"

This must be at least some of the "sad news" several ENs had alluded to. People said that was just about her outfit but IIRC multiple people had talked about changes coming. Kiara had mentioned maybe people "won't notice it" but it's still a change and this sounds like pretty much exactly that - if they're tweaking things behind the scenes of what they go for and present and such it won't be outwardly visible on the surface, and after shit like 2 male EN gens in a row they already broke the mold for what we were expecting they'd do.

Okay, I'm probably behind my /biz/ reps but from what I remember, Series B means that it's not a free for all in terms of selling stocks and they can pick and choose who they sell to. This usually means that the company is either going full IPO like anykara or just using it for funding purposes which I guess makes sense since they supposedly just created another studio for 3d shit, and I guess HoloEarth is a thing. Can anybody correct me if I missed anything?

[Anonymous No.]

Well, now we can see actual numbers instead of made-up ones on here. I honestly expected them to do it later since Nijisanji is kinda collapsing at the moment.

Series B Funding is where they can pick and choose an investor and will share only some of the programs and assets. They've done this before back in 2020 and it's essentially used for funding big projects.

To give an example Cover did this back in 2020.

Technically it's worse than going public, as public shares work like trust found, As long as cover has the majority of shares, shareholders can't make decisions.

Basically when a company goes "public" it means they sell the ownership of the company to investors for money. The percentage of ownership is broken down into "shares". The more shares you own, the more you get to dictate what the company does. In Cover's case, this can be bad if chinks (who hate hololive) own majority shares or just dumbfuck outta touch investors pushes for dumbfuck outta touch decisions like, idk, give all the pettans massive tits cuz everyone loves massive tits, right? Right now, the consensus should be wait and see who buys but you got your doomposters doomposting and your whitepillers popping pills

Okay time to clear things up for the retards.
IPO means initial public offering. Topix rules that x amount of shares be held by individual investors. (Don't remember off the top of my head, but x is probably around 30-50%). Fail to meet this requirement and you're kinda forced into privatization (it's complicated). IPOs in Japan require 監査 for a minimum of 2 years (unless you do speed IPO by paper company BO which is currently getting patched out by regulations), and this usually costs millions of dollars and is a massive headache. I can confirm 2 things, they got the OK from Topix for growth market IPO, and news sources in Japan say they're looking to IPO 3/27. I haven't read the Topix doc (I'm fluent jp) but I verified it exists. I didn't see an IR release on covers website, so no direct confirmation, but there's virtually no company that doesn't IPO after getting Topix OK because it's a massive waste of resources to do so.
I say, 0% chance they don't IPO, and the tards saying it's series B (which has nothing to do with IPOs or Topix) are misreading and being retarded.

Also 発行可能株式総数 has nothing to do with anything. It's dictated by 定款 which is like articles of incorporation, and its just the amount of stock a company can sell off. This is also changeable with a quick 定款変更, and it's merely an upper limit that for the most part serves no purpose because most companies never reach anywhere near the upper limit, it's mostly a formality.

Okay so I just read the official IR release from cover in original jp and it's pretty straightforward. It's IPO set for 3/27 no doubt about it. You can purchase shares post-IPO off of Topix assuming your broker has access.
Protip: don't buy for a few months, every IPO in Japan has a pump and dump scheme just after IPO or a little after. It's just the pre-IPO institutional investors that are changing money and getting gullible individual investors on the hype train (see: any color stock movements). If you want to make money, watch and see for 4ish months then buy in. If you're smart you can time the dump with the preIPO guys by shortselling at the top, but that's risky.
This is NOT financial advice. Everything posted above is not to be taken seriously.

Series B and any other 'series' refers to private placements ie, a purchase made directly from current shareholders. There's no such thing as a 'public' series, because being public means any individual investor can purchase or sell your stock. IPO is short for initial public offering, meaning the first time a company has ever offered stock publicly, ie to individual investors. You cannot sell stock to individual investors without going through TOPIX in Japan. An individual investor can however, meeting certain capital requirements become an accredited investor, and purchase stocks privately as an individual (without using a legal entity). Series (which are private placements, usually leading to an IPO but not always) don't need to go through TOPIX because they are private placements, and by law can only deal with accredited investors or legal entities.
In short, it's an IPO and anyone can buy it and sell it after 3/27. Yagoo will likely remain a major shareholder (most keep 30%) but that doesn't mean it's not public.
Finally, according to the IR statement made directly by cover, there was no mention of a series B, only an IPO (which is 上場 in jp). There would be no need to get an okay from Topix for a series B. retards. Also my JP sources are all saying it's an IPO and there's literally no confusion about it.

I think they were forced to go public technically because insider trading is illegal in Japan. They're probably just want to ask Softbank some Japanese shekels

[Anonymous No.]

Let's start by defining the terms — “Series funding” is not a term. There are two types of shares that a company can issue: common shares and preferred shares, When you start a company the founders “purchase” common shares from the company. When real investors come with cash they insist of getting preferred shares as they have special privileges (anti-dilution rights, board representation rights, various veto rights and right to take money off the table if the company is sold called liquidation preferences).

When you issue preferred shares at a certain price and with certain rights, you name is Series A shares (just so that you can differentiate them from new shares you will issue in the future). These additional shares (to be issued later) at a different price and with a new set of restrictions or rights, will be called Series B or C or D as the times goes on.

The company is still private and its details are not made public. Usually, the investors (VC firms) will tell people that they invested in you on their website and you may also want to do the same but only the amount is mentioned. Some companies (CrunchBase or VentureBeat) will “guess” the pre-money valuation and will publish it (not always correct but they do that).

Only when a company decides to go public (or has more than 500 shareholders) it is obligated to publish its details about the finances.

When you raise money from Venture Capitalists (VCs) for your startup company they insist on getting “preferred shares”. These are called preferred since they have special privileges attached to them that give VCs the control, information and veto rights, first dibs on the money if the company is sold (liquidation preferences) and other special treatments (founders get “common” shares when they start the company.

First time, when a company raises money from VC, the shares company sells to them are called Series A shares (to separate them from common shares at founding). A few months later (typically between 18–24 months) when the company has achieved some milestones and hopefully has increased its value, it may be time to raise additional funds from the VCs. These shares will be at a different price and may have different terms and conditions attached to them (Preferences) so they cannot be called the sames name as the shares previously issued. So we call them Series B shares.

A company can end up selling Series C, D and sometimes E, & F shares if they continue to raise more money (like Uber did).

But these names also have other meaning. They communicate to others the stage a company is at and its maturity level. e.g. a Series A is raised typically for product development and Series B to start product deployment, and Series C for scaling. So if a company is raising Series C and still does not have a product or customers it raises certain eye brows and an explanation is expected.

Insider trading is by definition only possible on public companies, because it fucks over individual investors. All sale of unlisted stocks (ie private placements) are thus by definition NOT insider trading. You fucking retarded imbeciles. Any investment made before 3/27 is fair game, and it's called pre-IPO financing. Yes, they make ludicrous amounts of money doing this, and it's why we all fuck each other over for a shot at that sweet sweet preIPO placement, and why VC always pushes for IPO and buys shit early as possible (startup stage).

Depends on if current stockholders cash out. IPOs boost stock price to retarded amounts and most preIPO investors cash out and sell on the market, where the buyer can be literally anyone. The only ones incentivized to hold the stock are the guys in management who can directly affect stock prices by good or poor management. The other guys have likely been waiting for years to cash out on this investment. So likely you'll see ownership change for everyone except management (yg at 30% won't budge too much I imagine) and really really bullish current holders. Markets not looking so good so I imagine ownership change will go fast. But who knows.

What do you mean what happens to the smaller one? After IPO? It depends which of the two groups is rich.
If someone that has shares from pre-ipo days decides to sell and let's say for example, a small hater group is rich enough to buy that person's shares as well as shares offered by cover, suddenly they will have saying power and can actively demand cover to do things that will lead to self destruction, as long as they can convince other shareholders NOT yagoo to agree.
