"That's totally ridiculous and an irresponsible thing for a losing company to do."
No question. It would be totally ridiculous even without the suggestion that Lenfest would allow the company to pay this dividend to all shareholders other than himself. That is truly loony. I don't even know how it could be done, from a legal and tax standpoint. That would be unequal treatment for people who hold the same class of stock (i.e., common stock), not holders of different classes of shares.
