where are you getting your numbers about the sale of the Senators?
Andlauer is the Majority owner… and there are a number of minority owners…what exactly is their (percentage) their share?
We know the Sisters retained 10%, so what do your sources tell you how the remaining 90% is divided up?
OR, are you just taking a guess?
Playoff revenue, as far as I know is NOT HRR, and therefore how it is used, is up to the (Majority and Minority) owners…. So they’re under no obligation to invest their playoff revenues into the franchise.
1) 950 m sale price for 90%
2) reports at time of sale was 100 M, from each partner (MALHOTRA, York And SOME MINOR GUYS).. Leaving some 700 M as his
3) he sells HABS Share for 250 M. Remove taxes, remove fees. He clears 200 M.
4) adds another 100 in money from his sources to lesson any borrowing. Leaves him 400 M to finance.
so his share is some 700 M from 1050 M.. or about 68/69%. Now that does not stop him from requiring all partners to be silent and even though, he is not 100% owner, he gets 100% authority.
That is it Dude.. Basic math, basic assumptions.
Playoff revenue is not HRR.. But it is team revenue. An owner will generally use it, to pay down debts. As he pays down debts, it allows him latitude to take less from the regular season revenue to pay off debt. Thus allowing for a more generous operation.
Yes, he is under no obligation. But he is smart enough to know that; put the money back in, and it allows you to make more.. A lesson The Euge failed to understand.
Should Andlauer and partners, decide that playoff revenue is for yacht trips on the Caribbean, They will discover what Eugene did.. There will be no playoff revenue.
