OFFICIAL THREAD ON PACKER STOCK SALE

[esponda1]

I'll be curious how many extra shares I'll rec'v since I already have one share. And based on the by laws I can transfer any extra shares to family!

"holder of shares of Common Stock that is a natural person may only transfer such shares of Common Stock to a member of the holder's "immediate family" by gift or in the event of death of the holder. The term "immediate family" means the spouse, child, mother, father, brothers and sisters, or any lineal descendant of a stockholder. A holder of shares of Common Stock that is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other formal legal entity (an "Entity") may only transfer such shares of Common Stock to a natural person who the corporation determines in its discretion has a significant interest in the equity of the Entity that the natural person did not acquire for the purpose of transferring such shares of Common Stock (an "Approved Person")."

If you already have one share, how about telling us more details about the process you followed to get it?

I recall that there was an application that you filled out with a cashier check or money order . I don't remember if it was the packer.com site or another site that was created for the application. Then they issued the share/certificate in the mail. I remember it being very easy. Realize, they want your money, so there is absolutely no issues getting a share. I can't imagine this time would be any different. It won't be hard....just how much $$ they will want will be the question.

This would be the PERFECT Christmas present for my dad.

we were told at our last stadium tour at the rams game that the cost per share will be higher than it was in 1997, but not by a crazy amount.

 

[Packer fan forever]

Are people outside of GB/WI allowed to purchase stock? Anyone know if they let it happen in '98?

I was living in Houston in '98 and purchased three shares. It makes no difference where you live. I am still in Texas and will purchase more this time. Go, Pack, go!

I understand they will be $250 per share. They were $200/share in '98. Certainly not a large increase.

Who on here owns stock currently? Its an awesome feeling to have it on paper that you own a piece of the Green Bay Packers. My share is hanging in my living room next to the display I have of the American Flag that was on my grandpas coffin from when he died (he served in WWII). That just shows you how important my stock is to me. The shareholders meeting is pretty boring though to be honest.

I own stock, too, and will purchase again. Yes, the meetings are a little boring, but it is always fun to be at Lambeau! Besides, I get to wear Shareholder stuff, and people are quite impressed.

I think it will have to be credit card for me. That might not be legal though. To buy stock on credit. Better start saving now!

As I recall, I purchased my stock in '98 with a credit card. I think it was much like purchasing merchandise, so your card should be fine.

I second rawalabhay's thought on getting some info from past buyers! Specially where is this stock taking place, for example will it be one more item to buy at packersproshop? Or do I have to start looking for a broker (I know its probably not the case, but I would still like to know more)?

No broker. I remember purchasing directly through the Packers.

Other requirements include:
You must be born in Wisconsin.
You must bleed Green and Gold so they will need a blood sample.
Thumbprints of you and at least 5 relatives.
Your mother's maiden name, signature and eye color.
They will also ask you to name every player on a Packers team from a random year. It could be any team from any year so be sure to memorize each player going back to the 20's!
Names of your first born. Don't have kids or don't plan to? Then the names of your pets. No pets? Then the names of what you would name your kids and pets. (It's helpful if they are Wisconsin sounding names.)
What year did the Packers beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl? (Careful: It's a trick question!)
Bonus question: The name of the Packers mascot from 1964-1978.
Bonus bonus question: What does the G on the helmet really stand for?
And finally your signature.

Don't forget - some money.

I'm from Montreal, Canada. Would love to purchase a stock, am I eligible? Do I have to be an American citizen?

[Ceodore]

So do you not get anything other than voting rights with the purchase of stock? I thought I read somewhere that there might be little perks like special tours at Lambeau Field and access to exclusive apparel or something?

I'm not a current shareholder. But I know that on the NFL official Packers pro shop, you can order special shareholder apparel.

No, you don't have to be an American - just a die-hard Packer fan!

Ceodore Posted:" I thought I read somewhere that there might be little perks like special tours at Lambeau Field ."

If you go to Green Bay Packer shareholder meeting that is held annually at Lambeau Field near the end of July , you get a tour of Lambeau Field. You also get a a noon lunch during the the meeting. As said in previous post, as shareholder you can purchase items from line of shareholder merchandise from Packer Pro Shop .

I have been a Shareholder since the last sale, but there are no perks. I paid for my tour last summer (after the Shareholders' meeting, which is free, though you buy your refreshments at the regular price) just like everyone else. There is no such thing as a free lunch, at least not in my experience! It is just great fun and a reward in itself. There are special pieces of merchandise for Shareholders, but the prices are not discounted.

No - nothing but voting and bragging rights. People who don't know that, however, are usually pretty impressed! It is worth it to me - love my Packers!

Packer fan forever -- You are correct, my post was in error concerning a Free lunch and Free tour of Lambeau Field.
I did a not do a a good job of researching Info for that post. It was probably once only occasion, that Packers supplied box lunch for that shareholder's meeting - back a number of years ago. I read about it in an article GB Press-Gazette.

Thanks for correcting my error. I deleted my post on that subject
