CEO postponed 5 years of his earnings until the company has the money to pay him back. The total of his compensation is $687,364 and $631,166, respectively.
Furthermore he pledged all of his holding in the company. If that isn't enough, He also pledge his one million dollar property. That is his home in order to collateralize the debt obligations.
I challenge you to find me one CEO out there willing to give this type of commitment for the company. This is virtually NON-EXISTENT. The state or quality of being dedicated to the business is beyond imagination.
