They would have to buy shares on the open market, there was a strong pledge to never dilute the original 400,000 shares. Although, I am not sure why FC would take VC money, I do not think operating capital is currently a limiting factor, I may be wrong.
I'd actually get if FC opted to accept VC money and gives a s certain return on a 'per contract' base, but I agree that diluting our current 400000 shares would be against the contract and contrary to the initial IPO promise!
