The Globe's Brent Jang writes that Orbit founder Robert Lamond got his financial advisers to negotiate through the night by telephone with Sunoma executives and their advisers. By 3 am Calgary time yesterday, the suitor threw an extra $3.3 million into the pot and Mr Lamond decided that it was a good time for Orbit to cash in. Sunoma will also redeem $8.9 million in Orbit preferred shares and inherit $9 million in debt. Mr Lamond said he was sad to lose Orbit, but happy to get a good price. He controls more than one fifth of Orbit's common shares valued at more than $18.8 million and will personally receive at least $8.2 million, including stock options, plus pick up a severance cheque of almost $900,000. He owns a 59 per cent stake in Humboldt Capital, which is a major Orbit shareholders that will collect $10.6 million.
