Where's my vote

  1. 2 Posts.
    I’ve been waiting for the AR to come out and for me to spend my sat morning
    coffee time chewing it over and I was hoping for some good news because this was a
    bit of an impulse investment. 15 months on, and I must say I am concerned. I
    didn't even finish my coffee. And its not just about the cash burn or direction the company is
    going in but also the many related party transactions that always crops up each
    quarter. I'm not one to question "wiser heads" but why are these transactions
    never put in front of shareholders to vote on or even explained. What are they
    trying to hide?

    Now that I have had good read of the AR, I’m surprised that no one’s questioned
    the size of the CEO's pay packet and the fact that the $370K he gets from the
    company every 12 months is more than 5% of the company’s total equity (which
    was $3.39M at 30/6/16). Someone correct me if I am wrong, but every company
    I been a shareholder in where they pay a director, a CEO or a substantial
    shareholder any amount of money even remotely approaching that 5% mark will put it to
    shareholders and table an expert report about why its in the shareholders
    interests and provide a comparison. How is it that these guys can pay over 10% of total equity to a
    major shareholder (who holds around 20%) without putting it to a vote? I don’t know much
    about the corporations law but I'm sure that there is a listing rule that deals with
    these things. Does anyone know which listing rule it is and is there something in
    the law that also prevents this?

    I wonder if this same thing is happening in the other related companies which
    are draining shareholder money. Is shareholder money being used to strip out
    equity there too?
