Colt's Manufacturing LLC - Expression of Interest

www.colt.com


Considering recent development and current business situation of Colt's Manufacturing LLC (in further text Colt) as the owner of Citigroup regnum Holding Corporation I would like to express certain interest for the inclusion  of Colt into the portfolio of Citigroup regnum HC.

Executive measures in particular sense depend on a number of eventualities which are actually out of my direct influence. In given circumstances official expression of interest from my side in this form represents only available mechanism which even as such can be activated in the case of adequate synchronisation of unspecified relative factors.

I would like to have Colt as a holding member in Citigroup regnum HC and to contribute to its successful recovery and re-positioning between world's leading firearms' manufacturers by available means of corporate owner's control.

By the sector, certain interest from my side can be shown toward Zastava Arms of Serbia (http://www.zastava-arms.rs/) as well.

It is undeniable that rights and interests can be deployed toward relatively high number of other sectoral business subjects, but the modesty of approach and willingness to co-exist with other markets' participants in highly competitive global environment can be considered as the imperative of civilized business ethics that is characteristic for humble me and companies that are or will be included into portfolios of my holding entities.

Particular expression of interest can be developed into classical takeover (of friendly character, ofc - with the consent of corporate management), but as the first the formalization of my status as owner/director and executive director of Citigroup regnum HC has to become less a certain probability and more the absolute fact, with all direct and indirect consequences.

Anyhow, corporate division of Citigroup regnum HC specialized for weaponry and military equipment will dedicate attention and other resources to opportunities which from time to time occur in the markets. Actual problems in business performance of Colt surely are the appearance of such kind and the possibility for major ownership restructuring with adequate adjustments in corporate strategic and operative management.

Citigroup regnum HC certainly will provide suitable environment, conditions and stimulus for all its holding members to flourish and to optimally develop all of their hidden and evident capacities. In that context, Colt can be treated as and is quite the potential.

Sberbank as the main component of Pan Slavia Holding - Draft

Working Paper


The release of  this statement is caused by the need to formalize and conclude previously declared interest to overtake shareholding in Sberbank which is actually entitled to The Government of The Russian Federation.

It is understandable that in constantly changing environment of international politics there are collateral consequences for internationally exposed business subjects that can be of two main sorts: direct ones as the continuation of political sanctions and indirect ones as the impact of market volatilities. Both inputs should have a sort of insurance mechanisms to prevent drastic stagnation of business processes and natural development of them. One of ways and means to achieve that aim is in appropriately solved ownership structure of businesses in case.

As the point of mutual interest of concerned individuals and entities to surpass unnecessary problems, I recommend the conversion of rights and interests in Sberbank from Russian Government to humble me.

My intention regarding strategic management by particular goods can be specified as the incorporation of a holding company with Sberbank as its main holding member. The ambition of particular holding company to achieve, have and maintain full global reach is understandable and normal.

I would name it as: Pan Slavia Holding and locate its head office in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

By the name it is obvious that Pan Slavia Holding (SE, probably) will be designed to develop the network of sub-holdings in Slavic nations regionally located from Trieste, Italy to Vladivostok, Russia.

By the sector, the core business will be in domain of finances, banking and insurance, but other business areas are not excluded from consideration and inclusion into the portfolio (notably: oil-gas-energy, pharmaceuticals, raw materials of all kinds, military industry, pension and other funds and so on).

A bit extraordinary character of the intention is caused by rather specific situation of Slavic nations in actual state of The European Union and their factual national compatibility with Russian Federation as the largest and the most powerful member of Slavic block of countries.

Other interested governments (including the host country) will be stimulated and welcomed to contribute shareholdings in particular corporations of their choice and interest to the portfolio of Pan Slavia Holding which in the advance should be considered as a kind of preferable buyer.

Approach of this kind separates political inputs from business outputs and offers possibilities to differentiate conflicting situations from simple human need to optimally operate businesses in given geographical and historical parameters. The intention is surely in line with efforts to intensify economic cooperation and development in Europe.

Operative measures will be taken in foreseeable future after the maturity of certain relative factors that are mainly of nationally limited kind.

Feasibility of the achievement of compatibility between expressed intentions and interest positions of concerned business and political subjects is undeniable, although the issue of willingness to implement them remains probably the largest obstacle on the road toward their full and absolutely meaningful functionality.

In the case that this draft is not in accordance with unspecified requirements of entities and individuals in charge it will not get the executive component, but even as just the statement it deserves attention and consideration because of its honesty, simplicity and goodness.
