Buy 1 Carton of Beer and get 10 shares of company stock - Aussie Only for $54.99
An Australian brewer has sold just about everything to keep his company open, but he's giving away ownership in his business to anyone who buys enough beer.
Broo Beer will give you 10 shares of company stock for each carton you buy through its Live the Dream website promotion. You have to buy online and do it before the end of the month. Sorry, global beer/finance lovers; this offer is for Australians only, so spread the word to your friends down under.
Broo seems like a spunky start-up from its various product descriptions: "We treat our beer like beer, it's what beer was before all the tossers tried to treat it like wine."
For a double whammy of a promotional incentive, $1 from every carton purchased goes to flood-affected communities still recovering from the torrents that caused car-moving waves to flow through Brisbane in early January.
According to the prospectus: There are 90,000,000 common shares in issue and Eligible Applicants may be issued 10,000,000 shares under the promotion. All in all there will be 100,000,000 shares when finished.
Also, each single applicant can have a maximum of 500 shares.
Aussies only.... well screw that, I would have bought some beer but I'd want some shares too dang it!
the description makes it seem like they're struggling, but they just officially started selling this beer, in late January 2011. The owner made it so the company will never be owned by a foreign entity unlike their other Aussie favorite beers which are foreign-owned.
good luck with that.
and uh.. someone let them know there's a typo in their homepage title bar at http://www.broo.com.au/
