Thanks RichieRich49 for the great post. If these are the possible effects of the NOLS for an extended period, the only other question is why would ETFC do that? Buyout and/or merger rumours are rampant. TARP situation. No new CEO announcement. 8K-E statement ("If the termination occurs in connection with a change in control, the severance benefits will be two times the sum of salary plus target bonus, 24 months of health benefits and full accelerated vesting of equity awards..."). Does the board think that any of these events or the CEO non-event are related or just coincidental in their timing?
