I'm not so concerned about compensation. For small growth companies, it's revenue that matters. It's not like an OTC stock would give out a dividend anyway. As long as revenue is growing - I could not care less if the principals were paid 10M a year each. Why? Because the value of the company to investors or a potential acquirer is based on how much profit that acquirer can make. If DPDW has 1 billion in revenue but no profit because the principals are paid $900 million, the company isn't worth zero because there is no profit. Rather - it is worth the multiple of the profit that could exist if the acquirer came in and cut salaries to lower market levels. That's all that matters.
Most of the compensation increase was in stock, which is not the same as cash, (for many reasons). The bonuses were probably to pay the taxes on the stock received, but who knows. I probably don't know what I'm talking about, just a guess, like many posts here.
