[h2]Major features:[/h2]

[h3]
1. Publicity of companies.[/h3]
   
   From now on, the stock exchange will have a limited number of shares circulating.
   To obtain a 100% share of the company, you must buy all the company's shares on the stock exchange and from all significant shareholders, entering into direct negotiations with them.
   In addition to that, all issued shares are now placed on the stock exchange, if they were not repurchased by the current shareholders at the time of issue of shares.
   
   [h3]
2. Buyback of the company's shares.[/h3]
   
   In order to increase the shares of current shareholders, you can now initiate the “buy back shares” from the stock exchange.
   During the buy back the company will buy back shares from the stock exchange at the market price with a margin. The margin depends on the amount of the company's shares currently circulating on the stock exchange. The shares are bought with funds from the company's reserves, then after the repurchasing the shares they are canceled and destroyed.
   The majority of shareholders consent is required for the repurchase of shares, as well as for the issue of shares.
   In addition to that, it is impossible to issue shares and immediately repurchase, or vice versa, to repurchase and immediately issue new shares. Both procedures have a shared cooldown.

Greetings, Plutocrats!

Right now we are working on a new pack of events that adds and expands the lore of the game. We have a lot of cool ideas that will make the game’s world greater. And also, we would like to take into account the ideas of the Plutocracy community.

We have made a special form that will allow you to suggest events. Events that will be possible to implement now, will be adapted and added to the game. If we add the proposed event to the game, then your name will be mentioned in the credits.

Now you have the ability to directly participate in the development of the world of Plutocracy. Just use the form, and we will take into account all your ideas in the development!
