[quote=Anonymous]OP here: more info:
DH invested in a start up  energy company. He is a certified expert in this field with many years of experience. He has 2.5% of the ownership, so he is a small investor. He put money in in a time when they needed cash for operations, but before the project was viable. He also served as an advisor.
Now the company, which is private, is being purchased by a very large investor. This is a necessity b/c power plants are expensive and need bank loans to operate – they are huge projects in terms of cash in and out. The project is about to jump from an investment among several investors (22) to a big corporation.
This is a dream come true. But when a big corporation comes in, they are very powerful, and can easily squeeze any small person out.
The corporation would prefer fewer owners (of course) so they are offering to buy out anyone who would like out. Only one has sold, and we are pending/thinking. We are the only middle class investors. DH is involved because he is an expert in the field. Being private, there are restrictions on sales – permission to sell has to come from the controlling owner/new corporation.
Anticipated growth is huge because of location/state support, ect. We planned to sell eventually, but is now the time, or wait until the next round? We would receive 20x our investment. Thank you in advance for your input.
DH is brilliant but sometimes overthinks things. Like asking me!
