Two ways to get your money back · without waiting for a full exit

Scenario 1

Growing dividends from Year 4

Portfolio cash flow is paid out to shareholders once the holdco has scale, and the payout grows as the portfolio grows.

  • First payouts in 2030 (Year 4)
  • Pro rata to all shareholders, same share class as the founders
  • Paid from operating cash flow and selective company exits

Illustrative. Dividend level is a target, not a commitment.
Scenario 2

Secondary sale of shares

Shareholders can sell their Askel shares to new or existing investors through a secondary trading platform.

  • Existing shareholders get first right to buy (ROFR)
  • Transfers approved by the company, as set in the SHA
  • Price follows the portfolio's growing value

A strategic sale of the whole holdco remains a third path for a full exit.
