OFFICIAL THREAD ON PACKER STOCK SALE

[Powarun]

Anyone know until it will be available to be purchased?

Thanks.

February 29th with the possibility of an extension, or till they sell out. I think we may see a huge decline in sales the next few days.

 

[bozz_2006]

More like tomorrow.

Hi everyone,
I purchased 1 share this morning for my fiancee...what a great wedding gift for him!
Anyways, my question has to do with the invitation to attend the share holder meeting that comes with being an owner. I assume that he wouldn't be able to bring along a guest (me!)? I would hate to make the trip to Green Bay to just be stuck in the hotel while he attends a bunch of private events, tours, etc. Anyone know?
Thanks!

He will be able to receive six tickets. He will have to respond to the card and ballot asking whether or not he plans to attend. You can take friends! There aren't really any special events, though, other than the meeting itself (which is kind of a yawn.) However, being at Lambeau is great even if you have to pay for your tour. The Hall of Fame was free for us this year, but was too crowded, so we went the next day and bought our own tickets. (None of the tickets are so expensive that they are prohibitive.)

So the first share went to someone from Texas. I can't help but wonder if was my husband- he was on it the minute the clock struck 8. Ha ha!

Or me!

Hi there all.
I have tried my Australian Credit Card and an Australian address and given that our 3-letter state codes match none of your 2-letter state codes it fails on address and then the CVV check.
:-(

I need an American friend with an American credit card!

 

[Powarun]

You know sadly I found a way to circumvent the system but its kind of costly, first you have to stay in a hotel in the USA, second buy a prepaid VISA, MasterCard or Amex, I believe they would work, buy the stock certificate and have it sent to the hotel, then inform the hotel to accept the package and then send it to you, making up an excuse if you will to justify having it get shipped to you. Sure it may cost a lot, but I know a lot of hotels will work with their guests to keep business going right now.

I can buy as gifts - can't I just collect through PayPal and then mail the stock when it arrives?

 

[CoachBo]

Got a share today. Awesome feeling.

 

[bradwillrockyou]

I still don't have the confimation email 3hours latter so I called the Packers and after staying on hold forever I spoke to a rep who said give it 24 hours...the sheer volume of orders has caused a major delay. I was told if you hit submit and got your confirmation number you are good to go. So hang tight it could take 24 hours to get that email but if you got a confimation number you are all good.

Thanks for that note! I bought my share ten minutes after they starting selling this morning and I STLL have not received a confirmation email (now over 12 hours later).

 

[CoachBo]

Thanks for the information. I was wondering about that, too, so I checked the bank account online and they've taken out the cash.

 

[CoachBo]

Now, a question: Anyone professionally frame these or does it make more sense to just hang it up in a Wal-Mart frame? Ever need the thing out?

I made a color copy to take to work, and the original has hung in the frame ever since. I have not needed to remove it in the 14 years since I bought it in '97.

Ditto!

 

[bradwillrockyou]

I have to add that, as thrilled as I am to own a share in the Packers (and I am SUPER stoked about it!), I think the add on fee of $25 for "shipping and handling" is completely bogus! They are shipping and handling a piece of paper! Sheesh. I'll have to remember to bring this up at the next Shareholders Meeting.

Any recommendations for someone in Canada? It says it can't be gifted internationally right now. Thinking I could just use a freight forward service for the certificate, but eventually I would have change the registration to my home. Can I do this? Doesn't matter to me that the address on the certificate would not be mine.

I don't see where it says it can't be gifted internationally. I think it just has to be shipped to a US address, and it may have no legal value overseas, but it shows a value of .025 cents if taken back. (Besides, what we want is really the certificate, right? And it doesn't really have much legal value here anyway.)

Here's what I saw that was relevant:

Q How can I make gifts of Common Stock?
A If you desire to purchase Common Stock for others, you may easily do so online at www.packersowner.com. If ordering by mail, you should complete the section “Gifts to Others” on page S-3 of the Subscription Agreement and Order Form, including the registered address to which all shareholder correspondence will be sent. If the recipient is a minor, the purchaser will need to designate a custodian for the gift share(s) until the recipient reaches the age of majority. Gift shares may be shipped to any U.S. or U.S. territory street address (no P.O. boxes).

Q Can I purchase from a foreign country?
A No. At this time, purchasers must complete transactions from an address in the U.S. or in a U.S. territory (no P.O. boxes).

Q Can I purchase in the U.S. or in a U.S. territory and have the shareholder certificate shipped to an international address?
A No. At this time, the Corporation cannot ship shareholder certificates internationally.

That doesn't look to me like it couldn't be purchased in your name and mailed to you after delivery to the US address.

 

[LombardiChick]

Congratulations to all the new stockholders (I got on board on the last sale and got a second share today). You'll never regret it.

 

[Wolfgang Grenus]

What is the status on the international fans? Anyone already got through? Share the loopholes and tricks please!

Is there something new with regard to international buyers? I am from Austria, was on 8 September 2011 in Green Bay and desperately wants to be a owner!

Please help!

 

[VersusTheMoose]

You need an American credit card, tried going through the process today with only my card and the American address and that didn't work out. I may have to transfer over the money and they will have to do it for me, but I rather not have to go down that route. Any international fans find an easier way?

Q Will I receive a certificate for every share of stock I order?
A You will receive a stock certificate for each registration name regardless of the number of shares purchased.
Q Can I use more than one credit card per transaction?
A No.
Questions Relating to the Offering

Q How much do shares of Common Stock cost?
A Shares of Common Stock cost $250 per share.
Q Are there any additional charges?
A Yes. You will be charged a $25 shipping-and-handling fee for each order of one or more shares.
Q How long will the Offering be open?
A The Corporation intends to offer Common Stock until February 29, 2012 (subject to extension), or until the Offering is fully subscribed, whichever is earlier.
Q How many shares of Common Stock can I purchase?
A You may only purchase up to 200 shares of Common Stock (counting the number of shares that you may have purchased in the 1997 offering).
Q May I purchase a share of Common Stock with another person?
A You may purchase shares of Common Stock with your spouse with the shares to be registered as joint tenants. You may not otherwise purchase a share with another person.
Q Into what registrations can shares be issued?
A Shares can be issued into Individual, Joint Tenant and Custodian for Minor registrations. “Individual” refers to one person acting in his or her individual capacity (Mary Brown). Individual ownership should appear in the form of a given name, middle initial(s) and last name only. “Joint Tenant” is a form of ownership where two or more individuals hold shares as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. When one tenant dies, the tenancy remains to the surviving tenant (John Brown & Mary Brown JT TEN). “Custodian for Minor” refers to registration of a security on behalf of a minor (in Wisconsin, under age 21). Securities transferred to minors are registered in the name of a custodian for the minor (Robert Green Custodian for Nancy Green under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act WI [UGMAWI]).
Q Are there any registrations not allowed?
A Shares cannot be registered as a Transfer on Death (TOD) registration or in the name of a Trust or Business Entity. “Transfer on Death – TOD” is defined as a registration under a state law regarding the transfer of the shares on death of one or more holders of the security. This is not the same as the Joint Tenant registration (John Smith TOD Jane Smith). “Trust” is a registration that usually includes the name(s) of the trustee(s), the name of the trust or the name of the grantor, and the date of the trust (John Doe Trustee U/A Dated 11-12-10 John Doe Trust). “Business Entity” is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company (LLC) or any entity that is a legal entity and has established by-laws or other organizational documents (ABC Corporation, Inc.).
Q If I purchase shares of Common Stock, will I be able to resell or transfer the shares to other people?
A No. You cannot sell, assign or otherwise transfer shares of Common Stock to a third party, except that you may transfer shares to an “immediate family” member by gift or in the event of death. “Immediate family” is defined as the spouse, children, mother, father, brothers, sisters, or any lineal descendent of a shareholder.
Q Will I receive a tax deduction for purchasing shares of Common Stock?
A No. Your purchase is not tax-deductible.
Q Will I receive any special benefits, such as access to tickets to Packers games, by purchasing shares of Common Stock?
A You will not receive any special benefits with respect to tickets, preferential seating or discounts on merchandise, but you will receive an invitation to the annual meeting and the opportunity to purchase exclusive shareholder merchandise. Please advise the Corporation of address changes so that we may continue to reach you.
Q How many votes will I receive for purchasing Common Stock?
A You will have one vote for each share of Common Stock you purchase.
Q Is anyone prohibited from purchasing shares of Common Stock?

A Yes. Please refer to certain limitations under “Terms of the Offering” in this Offering Document.

..We international fans have to go off the beaten path to get our hands on stock, official reports attaining to Americans only will not help us..

 

[realcaliforniacheese]

I made a color copy to take to work, and the original has hung in the frame ever since. I have not needed to remove it in the 14 years since I bought it in '97.

for all you previous shareholders. do they sell special frames in the shareholder only section of the packer pro shop.

 

[skibum55]

Got a share today. Awesome feeling.

I know the feeling, as well.

 

[Packer fan forever]

for all you previous shareholders. do they sell special frames in the shareholder only section of the packer pro shop.

I just checked again at the Shareholder site- there is nothing like that, but it is a great idea. I did find a really nice mat on ebay, though it is vertical and would not work for stock; maybe there is a horizontal version as well. I will check on that.

 

[PWT]

The Packers reported that on the Tuesday in the first 2 hours and 20 minutes, 28,000 shares of Packer shares were sold. That is more than 10% of the available shares.
