Hush money Form the recent financial results news release - They lowered the amount they are back dooring out of the company. Boy how generous.
In the third quarter, a provision for a $12.2 million profit pool payment was recorded in compensation and benefits expense in the statement of operations. Subsequently, the Board and management agreed to a revised payment of $7.0 million in the aggregate in respect of entitlement under the profit pool for the current fiscal year (for a detailed discussion of the profit pool and its application, please see "Corporate Matters" in the 2012 Annual Report). As a result, a $5.2 million adjustment was booked to decrease compensation and benefits during the fourth quarter.
