This could have a negative impact on MCF in the near term... NP says Microforum's CEO's criminal past raises questions Microforum Inc MCF Shares issued 17,237,000 Jan 27 close $1.95 Thu 28 Jan 99 In the News The National Post reports in its Thursday, Jan. 28, edition that Microforum's chief executive officer, Howard Pearl, has a criminal past. The National Post's David Akin writes that Mr. Pearl has never dodged the question when asked by regulators, his banker, or his board of directors: He was convicted in Tennessee in 1979 of a relatively minor wire fraud offence and paid a $1,000 (U.S.) fine. In 1982, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison by a U.S. District Court judge in California after pleading guilty to his role in a cocaine-smuggling operation. Mr. Pearl served 13 months of his 1982 prison sentence in the United States and he was placed on parole in Canada for the balance. Mr. Pearl says that information has been disclosed to the Toronto Stock Exchange, to Microforum's board of directors and to key business associates. It has not, though, been disclosed to all Microforum shareholders. Microforum chairman David Peterson was informed about Mr. Pearl's background last year when Microforum acquired Mr. Pearl's privately held firm PPL Marketing Services. He says Mr. Pearl is a fine hardworking manager. (c) Copyright 1999 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
