About increasing corporation quality and effectivity upgrades over 200 points

Hello,

New player here.. Atlantis HQ on GR.

I am stuck with raising quality and effectivity upgrade on my corporation called MIN2 FUKUDA URANIUM.
I read the manual and he say:

"You can increase the level of state corporations from the initial 100 up to 200."

-good this is clear , my started corporation it is state corporate so i upgraded to 200 points.. Done

Next:

"Upgraded public corporations can now reach a level of 225. A level of 250 is also possible but this level is reserved to public corporations that have most of their shares traded on the market and the largest shareholder owns less than 25% of the shares."

- so i perform a IPO and now my corporation it is public coporation, so acordin the manual i can raise my upgrades to a 225 level. Simply i can't. My corporation say it when i try to upgrade he is max upgraded..WHY?

Thank for help.

Currently, only public corporations controlled by an enterprise are able to upgrade to 225. Country-controlled corporations are limited to a 200 upgrade level.

Oh... so this it... i can sell my shares till i am under 25% and i risk to lose my corporation or i keep them state company. Tye for your answer.

It is possible to control more than one enterprise or own shares through your country or your country's investment fund. As long as the controlling entity owns less than 25%, it will be counted as "truly" public and can upgrade to 250/250. In this way, it is possible that your account can own all shares and receive this benefit.

I am a free player. So i have only the country. No enterprise. As far i see and i read it (and tested) can't buy with my IF shares from corporates locate in my own country. So i am very limited in this direction. I can only buy shares with my IF from corporates locate outside of my country.

As a free player you can own 2 countries, and you can use the investment funds in each to buy shares of public corps in the other. So you can own 24% with the country and 40% with a fund for 64% total. It's still theoretically possible to lose control of the corp as 36% remain available and only 25% need to be bough for a CEO to take over, but even if that happens, just sell the shares from the investment fund to the country, getting back control.

More importantly, is it worth it? The benefit is you increase the profitability of the corp, probably, and slightly decrease the number of employees. The drawback is you don't collect some of the profit. But I don't have exact numbers, so I can't say if the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. In any case, if you do go for truly public, make sure to keep taxes at 75% (the max), so you only lose a fraction of a fraction of the profit.
