50-bagger by a successfully restructure or a successfully acuse of the members of the management and the board

Local Corp will be a Chapter 11, where shareholders do participate in the plan

"Investors should be cautious when buying common stock of companies in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It is extremely risky and is likely to lead to financial loss. Although a company may emerge from bankruptcy as a viable entity, generally, the creditors and the bondholders become the new owners of the shares. In most instances, the company's plan of reorganization will cancel the existing equity shares. This happens in bankruptcy cases because secured and unsecured creditors are paid from the company's assets before common stockholders. And in situations where shareholders do participate in the plan, their shares are usually subject to substantial dilution. "
Source: SEC

When a corporation is on the verge of bankruptcy, its stock value will reflect the risk that a Chapter 11 may become a Chapter 7. For example, a company traded at $50 may trade at $2 per share due to bankruptcy speculation. If Chapter 11 is actually filed, the stock price may fall to 10 cents. This value is composed of the potential income that shareholders may receive after liquidation and a premium based on the possibility that the firm may restructure and begin to operate successfully in the future. Private investors can buy and sell these 10-cent shares in the OTC market.

According to BIA/Kelsey, $64.6 billion is spent annually across various types of media on
local ads — from merchants as well as ad agencies, networks and major retailers — to
generate calls to businesses.2 Considering that worldwide mobile phone penetration is projected
to reach 70% in 2014, with nearly two-fifths (1.75 billion) owning a smartphone,3
and with the proliferation of mobile phone use for searches, pay-per-call demand is poised
to increase. Additionally, call volume to businesses through mobile search is projected to
explode — from about 30 billion calls per year in 2013 to 73 billion by 2018.

50-bagger by a successfully restructure or a successfully accuse of the members of the management and the board, because Local Corp will be a Chapter 11, where shareholders do after my estimate articipate in the plan

For a 50-bagger we need a share-price of $0.70 and a market-cap of 19 milllion.
That is by debts of lower than 20 Million a value of all assets of Local Corp of together 39 million.

The difference between Total Liabilities and Total Current Assets was at Mar 31, 2015 only 15 million:

Acutua could buy Local Corp as fifth platform: Investitions of less than 30 million would jump revenues after my estimates from 135 to about 200 million

Actua must pay only 20 million or less to pay back the debts of Local Corp and could for example offer for 40 shares of Local Corp one share of Acuta, which would by 23.4 million outstanding shares of Local Corp only increase the number of shares of Actua from 40.8 million to 41.4 million.

And the 20 million for the pay-back of debts can Acuta refinance easy through a sale of not needed assets and/or licensing the 14 valuable patents of Local Corp.

Important: All of the other businesses Actua has bought have retained leadership teams, and continued to operate as standalone units following the deals.
