Vi får se, er oppe på 50% av det jeg hadde tenkt å kjøpe før release av TWD, jeg kunne i dag fått de nyinnkjøpte aksjene 1.3 SEK billigere per aksje. Det er irriterende…
mozzez begynner å røre på seg igjen i star.
Har gått in i @StarbreezeAB igen då det inte går att se förbi alla triggers under 2016. Närmast en reveal på VR-eventet #VRLA den 23/1.

Tidenes kjøpsmulighet vil du få hvis Star kommer med en eller flere utsettelser på minst et halvt år. Da er et fall på 20%, kanskje opp mot 40% intradag mulig. Jeg sier ikke at det skjer, men det vil etter mitt syn være tidenes kjøpsmulighet da spill-aksjer bruker å ta igjen det tapte og vel så det før release er et faktum.

partnership with the leading Korean game company Smilegate. Smilegate will

and, in the west, publish an original game based on Smilegates CROSSFIRE
franchise.
The long term strategic partnership allows Starbreeze to publish and
distribute Starbreeze games, including PAYDAY 2 and OVERKILLs The Walking
Dead, into the Asian PC and Mobile markets.
The Eastern entertainment market has been an enigma for western game
developers and vice versa. This in-depth collaboration uniquely positions
Starbreeze and Smilegate to bridge the gap between the two markets.
Starbreeze gains an extraordinary market position for our present and future
products, said Bo Andersson Klint, Starbreeze CEO.
The innovative and financially strong Smilegate with its billion-dollar
CROSSFIRE franchise is a perfect partner for us. This strategic move will
propel Starbreeze several years ahead in our evolution as a producer and
publisher of truly global digital entertainment products.
I am genuinely excited to have the opportunity to work together with the
successful, agile and smart team at Smilegate. We will create a powerhouse of
a partnership for the next decade.

Smilegate, pending approval from the Extra General Meeting. In total,
3,376,016 A shares will be issued at 13.27 SEK and 6,244,015 B shares will be
issued at 13.49 SEK, representing 4.9 percent of votes and 3.5 percent of
capital in Starbreeze on a fully diluted basis.
After the share issues, the total number of A shares in Starbreeze will amount
to 59,851,123 and the total number of B shares to 180,129,999.
Starbreeze will also issue 25 MUSD (215 MSEK) in a five year convertible bond
to Smilegate under the Boards mandate. The bond will have a coupon of 2
percent per year. Smilegate may convert the bond into B shares at a
conversion price of 13.49 SEK per share or if the actual share price is
lower, at the 60 day average share price with a minimum conversion price of
9.35 SEK per share.
When certain pre-defined milestones are met, Starbreeze may also convert the
bond into B shares, at a conversion price of 13.49 SEK per share or if the
actual share price is lower, at the 60 day average share price with a minimum
conversion price of 9.35 SEK per share.
If fully converted at 13.49 SEK, Smilegates holding in Starbreeze will
increase by 15,941,586 B shares, to 6.9 percent of votes and 9.4 percent of
capital on a fully diluted basis.
The bond is issued together with the rights to develop and publish an all-new
game title based on the blockbuster CROSSFIRE in western markets. Starbreeze
will hold a 10 year right to publish and service the title.
The issue prices of A shares at 13.27 SEK and B shares at 13.49 SEK, represent
a 4.2 percent and 3.8 percent discount to the respective average share price
during the last 60 trading days.
The deal documentation includes a lock-up clause for Starbreeze CEO Bo
Andersson Klint, COO Mikael Nermark and CTO Emmanuel Marquez. Additionally,
the documentation includes a change-of-control clause as is customary in game
development deals, as well as certain penalty clauses that primarily apply if
Starbreeze materially fail to perform.
Starbreeze to create premium co-op PC FPS game based on the CROSSFIRE
franchise
Starbreeze will develop an all new premium first-person-shooter (FPS) co-op
game for PC based on Smilegates CROSSFIRE franchise, aimed to attract
western gamers in particular.
Starbreeze will leverage its knowledge and expertise to create a game that can
be further expanded over time to attract long term interest from players. The
new game will be based on Starbreezes game engine Valhalla. The games
release date will be announced at a later date.
Starbreeze and Smilegate have agreed on a substantial revenue share from the
first unit, Smilegate will retain the rights to the IP.
Joon Ho Sung, CIO of Smilegate Group, said: Asian, European and US gamers
have a lot to look forward to as a result of this collaboration. The aim for
both of us is to bring the best from our home markets to new audiences. With
its impressive PAYDAY track record, Starbreeze is an ideal partner for
bringing the CROSSFIRE franchise to western markets and new titles to our
home markets. This is a long term strategic partnership for us.
The original CROSSFIRE franchise has more than 500 million users with six
million concurrent players and is one of the top grossing online games
worldwide, generating over 1,300 MUSD in sales during 2014, of which a large
part is originating from China. The first-person-shooter (FPS) game applies a
free-to-play model.
Expanding and attracting further interest to the franchise, the CROSSFIRE
movie will premiere in three to five years with Fast and the Furious
producer Neal Moritz as the movie creator. The movie will represent a
valuable marketing opportunity for Starbreeze all new CROSSFIRE title.
Distribution in the Asian market
As part of the strategic partnership, Starbreeze receives distribution rights
on the Smilegate platform, enabling it to distribute its titles, including
PAYDAY 2 and OVERKILLs The Walking Dead, in Asia.
OVERKILLs The Walking Dead will be expanded with more content where an Asian
version will be developed for simultaneous launch with the western version.
To maximize the new opportunities, Starbreeze, 505 Games and Skybound have
decided to release the game in all markets during the second half of 2017.
The partners are convinced this will pave the way to success, maximize
revenues and cement it as a tent pole product for the next decade to come.
What the Starbreeze team has achieved in the last few years is amazing. This
partnership with Smilegate with an upfront cash injection secures our plans,
opens new markets and proves yet again that we have an expansive and
ambitious business plan focusing on creating long term value. This deal
creates a new paradigm for independent developers in the digital market that
we are excited to pioneer, said Michael Hjorth, Starbreeze Chairman of the
Board.

Vet du noe om smilegates plattform? Er det for mobilspill?
“Starbreeze får distributionsrättigheter på Smilegates plattform och kommer att lansera PADAY 2 och OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead på asiatiska marknader över plattformen.”
Hvor ser du dette med utsettelse?
Se det med bold-skrift. Tydeligvis ikke det de har lagt mest fokus på i denne pressemeddelelse.

Et helt år utsettelse
Vel da hadde jeg rett om mine advarsler om utsettelse av TWD eller Geminose. Men ellers er det jo en spennende melding som jeg fremdeles ikke har rukket å lest nøye.

Ja, den kan leses både positivt og negativt - TWD 1 år forsinket og henter inn 129 msek i emisjon og 215 msek i konvertibelt lån med rabatt mot dagens kurs.
Samtidig åpnes et helt nytt marked (Asia) og Starbreeze har fått rettigheter til å utvikle et veldig populært spill for det vestlige markedet.
Halvtomt eller halvfullt?
Potensialet økte ja, men inntektene kommer senere enn planlagt. Avanzamannen er inne på det i sin kommentar.

Jepp. Det er vel kanskje mer riktig å si de har prøvd å gjemme det?
Det er ikke alle som skjønner like godt som onns at dette kun er svimlende positivt… Men noen er det dog, for kursen stiger så vidt jeg kan se
