A capital structure is provided for use in association with shares of an issuer, such as shares of common stock. The capital structure may include a share-purchasing entity structured to issue at least one security to the issuer and to receive proceeds in return for the security. In addition, the share-purchasing entity may have a business purpose limited to issuing the security to the issuer, owning the shares of the issuer, or purchasing the shares of the issuer. The share-purchasing entity may also be structured to use proceeds received from issuance of the security, or from dividends paid on the shares of the issuer, for purchasing shares of the issuer.
