SRZ: 8K filing: CFO Salary Increase

SRZ has reported an 8K filing on Feb 25,2009

CFO salary has been increased from 257,885 to 500,000 + incentives which could be 150% of the base ie additional 750,000 USD.
There are 750,000 options alloted on Dec 23,2008 (Option Price = 1.37 Price on Dec 23,2008)

Obviously SRZ is not close to any bankruptcy as a 100% salary hike is not something you get in the middle of a squeeze.
Richard Nadeau actually came in for the SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404 compliance and for the restatement of the accounts and now he is the CFO.
Rick is also the person who got in CEO Mark Ordan.

Also if you listen to the Q3 2008 conference call, my feeling was that Rick is the foundation stone providing all the backup support, guiding direction and steering the ship.

Finance after all is like the blood flowing through the veins.. critical for sustainance.

if you listen to Q3 2008 conference call (link) I got a feeling that operations wise the company is doing just fine .. its the one time expenses that have really brought down the company stock.. and the way the management put a negative spin on the story.

Summary: This is a good news for all SRZ fans. if you have shorts please watch them carefully. We should see the light at the end of the tunnel. Actually its like seeing a horror movie in a movie hall where the only lights on are to the "exit" sign. Some have got scared and ran for the exit.. others have enjoyed the horror movie. The movie is about to end and we all can see the real SRZ.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can and most of all to know the difference"
