PRESS RELEASE
Imperial Bank Floated from 1st Imperial Privateers The 1st Imperial Bank, the sole financial instiution operating on Shartak, has listed on the Shartak Stock Exchange, disaggregating from its parent, the 1st Imperial Privateers Regiment.
"We felt that the useful non-combatant operations of the Bank were inconsistent with our twin goals of pillaging colonist towns and conquer of native peoples," said Major- General Timothy Trust, co-leader of the Imperials.
Colonel Ella Chen, commander of shipwreck operations of the Imperials, added, "The listing of the Bank under an independent board of directors ensures its legitimacy and transparency, as well as allows the troops to continue to set fire to huts, murder people in their sleep, and impress native women with our pulse-powered advocaat rifles."
The disaggregation has not resulted in the Imperials dropping from their lead as the largest clan on Shartak, still with more active members that the Scurvy Crew of the Hellborn Strumpet.
"We don't envisage this as being a f***ing impediment to f***ing operations!" said Colonel Nowherehowdy, commander of New Amsterdam operations of the Imperials. "In fact, the non-combatant branch managers were more of a f***ing liability given they were obvious targets of retribution! Silly c****!"
Ibn al Xuffasch, York branch manager of the Bank, said, "The 1st Imperial Bank operates branches in Raktam, Durham, Derby and York, all within a square of the trader's huts in each centre, and are there for loans, deposits with 10 gold coin interest payments, and inter-branch transfers. The combined gold coin assets of the 1st Imperial Bank exceed that of any other organisation on Shartak Island. This complete independence has lead to a very exciting time in our Bank's history."
