"I must say they have pretty large sacks to invite shareholders in for a face to face! "
Um, a shareholder vote is required, and they've put off the so called annual meeting for many months. And no, it's not "large sacks" to have an annual meeting compared to the CEO's salary. If running an annual meeting takes "large sacks", then the CEO's salary is taking Fort Knox.
Lastly, the funds would be coming out of the leftover funds after paying off the debt, in order words, it's coming out the shareholders pocket.
So, I think its great that they have to fund the expenses of an annual meeting, a meeting that in any real reputable investment, would be a regular, expected event, not something to behold as a great achievement! It's the pinks folks!
