Zip, not sure what you mean here. This is pretty standard for new BOD members for most public companies. They are typically granted RSU's and/or stock options.
How is this an "abuse of power"?
I realize we all hate Amarin BoD, but nobody is going to take a board seat with a public company just for the sheer joy it brings.
And if the stock doesn't go anywhere, they don't make much. So they have a HUGE incentive to move the stock price.
And I will also remind everyone, DENNER HAS STATED IN MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS, THAT HE IS A BIG BELIEVER IN HIGHLY COMPENSATED MANAGEMENT AND BOD, ESPECIALLY VIA STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.
