Jake P. Noch Family Office, LLC: Redefining the Art of Turnarounds and Value Creation
At Jake P. Noch Family Office, LLC, we take on the challenges others shy away from. Our mission is ambitious yet precise: to transform dormant and distressed public companies into robust enterprises that create real shareholder value. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, we navigate complex financial landscapes, leveraging innovative strategies to turn neglected issuers into industry leaders.
Our approach is grounded in the belief that no situation is beyond redemption. By targeting companies at their absolute worst—those mired in mismanagement, regulatory neglect, or even prior scandals such as executives in federal prison for securities fraud—we seize opportunities where others see chaos. Our philosophy is simple: when a company hits rock bottom, the only way is up. We not only aim to rebuild these companies but also create sustainable paths for growth, benefiting shareholders who might otherwise face total losses.
What We Do
Our expertise spans a range of strategic initiatives that differentiate us from conventional investors:
-
Acquisition of Dormant Issuers: We strategically acquire shares of publicly traded companies that are often relegated to the U.S. OTC Market’s Expert Market. These entities typically lack quotation eligibility under SEC Rule 15c2-11, posing significant liquidity challenges. By acquiring controlling positions in these issuers, we gain the ability to drive meaningful change.
-
Regulatory Compliance and Rehabilitation: The cornerstone of our process is ensuring full regulatory compliance. We meticulously address outstanding filings, settle debts, and implement governance best practices. We understand that compliance is non-negotiable for creating long-term value.
-
Business Innovation: We breathe life into these issuers by establishing new lines of business tailored to market opportunities. From cutting-edge ultra-high-frequency trading platforms to online casinos and intellectual property ventures, we craft business models that are both scalable and sustainable.
Our Financial Model: Innovative Structuring and Risk Management
Our financial strategies are both cutting-edge and meticulously compliant, designed to maximize efficiency while adhering strictly to regulatory frameworks:
Debt Settlement via Section 3(a)(10) Exemptions: We engage in court-approved arrangements under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act to settle outstanding debts and claims held against the issuers. By exchanging these claims—not cash—for securities, we ensure that all transactions are transparent, lawful, and in full compliance with regulatory standards. This approach allows us to inject value into the company while aligning with legal requirements.
Liquidity Risk Expertise: Recognizing that dormant issuers often suffer from illiquid markets, we fully assume the liquidity risk inherent in revitalizing these companies. Our expertise enables us to transform them into compliant, profitable entities that attract market interest, thereby mitigating liquidity challenges over time.
Performance-Based Profit Realization: Our profit model is directly tied to the success we help create. Through structured 3(a)(10) arrangements, we receive compensation in the form of securities in exchange for settling substantial claims and providing valuable services—not for providing cash. Our potential earnings—typically ranging from $6 million to $12 million USD annually, plus 50% of net profits from future ventures—are realized only when the company performs well. This ensures that our interests are perfectly aligned with those of the issuer and its shareholders. All arrangements are subject to rigorous court oversight, guaranteeing fairness and transparency.
Exact Dollar Recoupment: Our agreements specify repayment based on a fixed dollar amount without accruing interest. This means we receive a number of shares equivalent to the settled claims' value. If the share price decreases, we may receive more shares to reach the agreed-upon amount; if it increases, we require fewer shares. This structure safeguards the issuer's financial health and protects shareholder value by preventing excessive dilution.
Why Target the OTC Market?
The U.S. OTC Market is often dismissed as a graveyard for dormant issuers, rife with regulatory pitfalls and fraudulent activity. Yet, we see untapped potential in this environment. Our ability to navigate these challenges sets us apart:
-
Strategic Resilience: By investing heavily—often exceeding $500,000 annually—in compliance personnel, legal counsel from top-tier AM Law 100 firms, and regulatory consultants, we ensure every action adheres to the highest standards.
-
Tailored Solutions: Our approach avoids cookie-cutter methods. Instead, we design bespoke financial and operational strategies that address the unique circumstances of each issuer.
How We Create Value
Every company we touch undergoes a rigorous transformation process:
-
Acquisition and Custodianship: We begin by acquiring shares on the open market, often a Herculean task given the illiquidity of Expert Market securities. If necessary, we leverage legal mechanisms, including books-and-records demands and court petitions for custodianship, to gain operational control.
-
Operational Rebuild: Once in control, we implement new business models tailored to the issuer’s strengths. Examples of current projects include:
-
An ultra-high-frequency trading firm focused on derivatives arbitrage, seeking regulatory approval in Mauritius.
-
A portfolio company with royalty stakes in global brands like Listerine® and the works of artists such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and The Weeknd.
-
A licensed offshore online casino, pending court approval.
-
An investment-themed social media platform designed to revolutionize investor engagement.
-
-
Profit Realization: Our reimbursement and profit come only after significant value creation. The shares issued to us under 3(a)(10) arrangements are sold on the open market until we recover our investment and predetermined profit margin, aligning our incentives with long-term company success.
A Philosophy Rooted in Realism
We operate with the understanding that not every venture will succeed. Businesses, like living organisms, have life cycles. Some flourish, others falter. Yet, our commitment is unwavering: to give every issuer we touch its best chance at success. By putting our capital, expertise, and reputation on the line, we strive to build enterprises that endure.
