As others have indicated, we probably need more info to really give decent comments, but if I were to guess, it sounds like your company is looking to raise capital. Their first choice is to sell preferred shares to employees, which might make some sense, as those typically are non-voting shares and act more like debt, where they essentially pay interest on the amount invested. Failing that, issuing publically traded shares is an option, but I don't think it is the only one. "Going public" is a huge decision; it greatly affects how management controls the company, the reporting requirements, etc.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
