RE:RE:RE:RE:TD's spin on new CEOYes, this provision places a floor of 7.5 cents per annum over 2 consecutive years and you can be sure the Voting Trust will maintain this minimum level before throwing the destiny of the company into the great unwashed hands of the B shareholders. This is precisely why investors hate dual class shares, but investors know what they are getting into in this type of situation.
Perhaps the Voting Trust will yield the company to a benevolent new owner who would preserve the Atkinson Principles and I'm sure Fairfax has tried this approach. Clearly it hasn't worked yet, but if the leadership of the Voting Trust is dislodged and a more practical business approach is adopted there may be hope for the future. In the meantime we need Boynton to work some magic to shake up Sleepy Hollow.
