It would be interesting to know how common these large Golden Parachutes are. In a way, they serve as a form of poison pill to block a hostile takeover. I couldn't find that in the recent filings. Do either of you have a sources for your info? The salary and the loan to McGinnis (mostly to buy Eco shares, I believe) are public. But I have not seen the golden parachute details, which I assume only take effect if Eco was bought out and McGinnis replaced. Yes, both companies are late with earnings. But we will soon see whether if that is where the similarity ends. I suspect DBCO shareholders would have been quite happy to have earnings late if they had been able to post a profit and growth each year. This is news from the Royal Millenia Group. They seem to have a very odd way of announcing news. Also suggests that their interest in a company like Davie, was not from a serious interest in entering the Oil services and fabrication industry.
