‘Ownership’ stock of no value

Noteworthy, investment in the Packers' stock does not constitute spending in its "stocks", meaning the stock will have no value. Precisely, there would be no economic benefits like making a profit, receiving dividends, or tax deductions, but it would be counted as "ownership" shares.

In addition, Packers will hold no obligation in repaying the purchase amount to the buyers that invest in the stocks and all the stock offerings will be made only through an offering document.

The organization believes that the offerees and the buyers of the stocks will get no protection of security laws regarding any offering or selling of the shares. Meanwhile, its bylaws and NFL rules strictly restrict transfers of its stocks.

Bottom line:

The early stock offerings were made out of necessity in 1923, 1935, and 1950, for keeping the team financially stable. Additional stock sales were done in 1997 and 2011, for raising funds to expand the stadium and projects. The offering that is expected to commence on November 16 will be the first in 10 years.
