ABSTRACT

What are the Benefits of Being a Public Company in Such a Monopolized Market as the OLED Market?

This presentation will cover:

  1. Escaping the often very toxic terms of VC investment agreements - protection against a squeeze-out.
  2. Change of information asymmetry - a public company has to inform the broad public about its dealings & independence in informing about development steps.
  3. Unique value proposition for investors and access to capital - the democratization of benefits from technology development - in NCL to currently approximately USD $50M in turnover since the beginning of the listing.
  4. Current valuation and ease of using ESOPs as a natural motivator due to liquidity.
    Easy translation of R&D work into value - motivation for scientific teams, accurate valuation of Individual patent applications or other ESPI, e.g. from technology.
