Conru and Lars will be maintaining sizable holdings in the "new" company. So they may have traded 100% of AFF for 50% of Penthouse. In theory, they were bought out for X, but the actual money trading hands maybe significantly lower (like, perhaps, not all that much).

The other question is Penthouse... I see a penthouse international as a Pink Sheet stock. Is this the new owner? Or is that the previous (mostly dead) branch of Penthouse?
300 of the 500 was only cash. Leave 200 on the table. YOu guys can figure it out.
