FabKitchens Pty. Ltd. is a relatively new designer kitchen construction company. It has three shareholders, Wei Lee, Sana and Imelda who are also the directors.

The company wants to expand its operations to include designer bathrooms and laundries. To fund this expansion, the company needs an injection of $800,000.

Wei Lees father-in-law Bruno, is willing to advance this capital, provided the company issues shares to him with special rights which would give him a substantial proportion of the companys profits for a five-year period. Bruno wants a good return for his capital investment, and he wants security of repayment.
