ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems and securities for assuring a company an opportunity to sell stock (e.g., common stock) after a specified time. One embodiment relates to receiving collateral security data including a collateral security issue price and a collateral security issue-date stock price, as well as variable share forward-contract data including a variable-share forward-contract maturity date; generating a variable-share determination trigger through a comparison of a current date to the variable-share forward-contract maturity date; determining a current stock price derived from current market data or an average historical stock trading price in accordance with the variable-share forward-contract data; calculating a number of shares associated with the variable-share forward contract; and executing a transaction for the calculated number of shares associated with the variable-share forward-contract data.
