Look, as I mentioned earlier I don't have all the answers, so I can't comment directly on Q1 or 2. To be frank, I have been focusing more on some of my other stocks.
I don't know if anyone could answer those questions accurately as you would need to be in the company. My business' association finished with CGB almost 2 years ago now as contractor, not paid staffer.
So....thinking out aloud, there could be contractual arrangements in place that are private...I just don't know. I have a decent understanding of how holding companies work, Snr management termination clauses and some ideas on contractual law. There could be a mix of these in play here too. That is assumptive, of course.
As to Q3. Well, I have 3 friends who hold CGB shares and they are all got on, I did too. Sorry to hear you had trouble.
