As approved by a resolution of the Board of Directors in 1998, the CEO will be paid an incentive fee and a bonus which are payable in installments at the CEO’s option. The incentive fee is 1% of the increase in market capitalization based on the bid price of the Company’s stock beyond the book value at confirmation of the bankruptcy, which was approximately $260,000. The bonus is 0.5% of the increase in market capitalization for each $1 increase in stock price up to a maximum of $8 per share (4%) based on the bid price of the stock beyond the book value at confirmation of the bankruptcy. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the incentive fee expense was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Subsequent to quarter end, on October 14, 2023, our Board of Directors increased the CEO’s salary. See Note 20.
