On June 1, 2015, Gustav Corp. and Gabby Limited merged to form Fallon Inc. A total of 800,000 shares were issued to complete the merger. The new corporation uses the calendar year as its fiscal year.
On April 1, 2017, the company issued an additional 400,000 shares for cash. All 1.2 million shares were outstanding on December 31, 2017. Fallon Inc. also issued $600,000 of 20-year, 8% convertible bonds at par on July 1, 2017. Each $1,000 bond converts to 40 common shares at any interest date. None of the bonds have been converted to date. If the bonds had been issued without the conversion feature, the annual interest rate would have been 10%.
