Unless I'm missing something it's a good deal with little risk for empire isn't it?
They pay Azarga for the shares, however if the value drops than Azarga pays Empire the 'loss.' So it's really like a loan with the shares used as collateral, except that should the shares increase in value than Empire gets a 50% stake in any profit. I wonder who holds the voting rights though?
You're right though, gotta be an investment banker special! I assume Azarga needed the money to focus on the Dewey Burdock project which I think is due to come online later in the year.
