Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
As I exposed, a few weeks ago, the Independent NED at Nightcap (NGHT) who signs off on bonuses for failure for CEO Sarah Willingham and bonuses for crap M&A for her husband is in fact her best friend’s husband and so if he is independent I am a banana. Toby Van der Meer is, in fact, so keen on the Willingham family that he charges £0 for his services to Nightcap. So he charges nothing and waives through utterly iunjustifiable payments to Sarah and her hubby and is also the man who allowed the company to pay a personal legal settlement of La Willingham which the prospectus explicitly said it would not do. So just how close and non independent are the Van Der Meer’s and the Willingham’s?Judge for yourself…
