From: Vincenzo lozzo Sent: Thursday, February 5, 2015 2:26 PM To: Jeffrey E. Subject: Favor/help Jeffrey, So it looks like we are moving forward with the company (meaning we have inv=stors), this is good news for me but also poses an issue. The issue is that my shareholder agreement with my previous company is prett= annoying, both because I cannot freely hire people from there but also bec=use I might have some non-compete issues down the line. So I'm trying to se=l my equity in that company (Trail Of Bits Inc). I went to dinner with the other co-founders of the company the other day to s=e if they were willing to buy me out, I should know more early next week bu= I don't think it's very likely to happen. A competitor of the company is willing to buy me out, but I'm sure that if l=go with him the other co-founders will fight hard to prevent the sale or at=the very least delay it a lot (they don't like each other very much, and th=t's an understatement). Anyway, the request for help is the following: Do you think you or a friend/client of yours might be willing to buy it? There are two options, the first is just my equity (roughly around 8%) and t=e second is mine + another guy that left which would bring the total to abo=t 18%. The company is profitable and the revenue should be around $3-5mm, so fairly=small. I'm waiting to receive the financials from them to know exactly the r=venues for 2014. The remaining co-founders have a long-term view on it, meaning they will lik=ly not be willing to sell it for at least 5 years or so. In terms of positioning, the company is a known market leader for certain go=ernment services/agencies. Given the revenue I'm trying to get around 500k for my stake. As I said anot=er guy is willing to sell his stake too if 500k is too small of an investme=t. Besides the pure investment opportunity, what I was thinking is that it coul= be a good deal for somebody who is either trying to get an investor visa f=r the US or for some form of tax saving. Hence why I figured I'd ask you. = Anyhow, as a general indication do you think it's doable? Sorry for reaching out to you, but I figured you're one of the few people I k=ow who could help and could move fast enough.
