Bid/ask pay no attention to the reality of sells at 62p

Browning was appointed CEO with effect from April 2019. The remuneration package would have been a key part of the negotiation before he agreed to join. The board, on behalf of shareholders, decided that Browning on this package was the best option to try to turn the company round.

Not much point moaning about the remuneration package now. If Browning succeeds and the company and share price recover then I imagine shareholders will be happy. If he doesn't then the options aren't going to be worth much.

In my opinion, faced with a challenging turn-round as was (presumably) required at Zinc, it is far better to pay a bit more and get someone with a relatively good chance of succeeding, than to limit the field of potential candidates by insisting on a remuneration package that is not competitive.

Come on stop trying to defend the greed and self interest alone in those that run this outfit, while they lead a lavish lifestyle on more money than the PM.

I think options are probably not quite as valuable as some shareholders would like to think. Have a look at the annual report page 49 (Note 7: Share based payments) to see how similar "unapproved" options granted in February 2020 are valued.

Congratulations dave4545, for calling it as it is. If I remember correctly the presentation they did someone I think said Browning was sprouting about it being 18 months salary, as though to suggest he was only being paid a reasonable amount for his skills at talking the talk while milking investors.

I hope you took your profits dave when you had the chance. Blood sucking bats have nothing on this bunch.

What do you mean massive salaries? Browning is worth every penny of that £688,000 a year. Maybe they should increase his pay for his performance of increasing the losses last year as well as give him even more almost zero price share options.

Someone alerted me to today's RNS Can only feel pity for any investors stuck in what is clearly a lifestyle company run for directors benefit

[clocktower] 10/6/2021 07:19

There you go there at it again, even after taking huge salaries for themselves for failure after failure and the target price for the bulk of the options is not even at the last level of dilution.

Additionally the payment in shares in lieu of salary, how much more do the they want to milk to sustain their lifestyle?

Come on Dave duped again sling the towel In to the ring and call it as it is.

Yes anyone with history probably has dilution PTSD. I do. UKD has made some good observations in the past though but maybe he missed the buy-in at 40p? I did.

[slicethepie] 29/5/2021 13:11

He regularly posts that a placing is coming, clearly has issues / history with zinc.

[symbiote] 29/5/2021 12:04

Which bit?

[symbiote] 28/5/2021 10:57

Understandable concern after the company's dismal shareholder dilution track record. They need to change the record and raise money by profit if they want to rebuild some credibility. But why a drop in net cash from £3.4m to £3.2m over the quarter to 13th April would indicate this I'm not sure. Unless they want to overpay for more companies that they don't need. Hopefully this crew have better business skills than the last but the clock is ticking.

Same rumour, or a new one?

Hearing rumours of another book build, be careful

Hearing rumours that there is a bookbuild going on to raise £3,000,000 £3,000,000

[clocktower] 28/5/2021 09:00

The market seems to know the news is nothing more than bluster with nothing more than promises of more of the same ahead. Rinse and repeat as the company has done for donkeys years, to keep the BoD in style in what had become a lifestyle company run for the board and those that they owe investors money.

Maybe they should keep reminding everyone how much they owe, and talk about how much they are reducing this figures and increasing the companies net profits - not something you can do as easily as you can talk about order books.

[1gw] 28/5/2021 07:11

Swings and roundabouts then. Or 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. But they are continuing to land new commissions, so that at least is positive.

Late movement. 2 x 8000 buys and it was 72p offer just before the close so any more interest and we could be off again.
