The Fight Wages On
If you’re an online casino gambling company and looking for ways to trim the
budget, scale back, and cut Euro 13 million from the company operations, the
Euro 1.5 million held in escrow for a former CEO is probably a pretty tempting
chunk of cash. CryptoLogic is now at the center of a pretty heated battle with a
former CEO – a battle that has little to do with the company’s acclaimed online
casino gambling software and more to do with politics most likely. The argument
is actually pretty simple, the Euro 1.5 million held in escrow was put there as
a part of former CEO Javaid Aziz’s severance package. The online casino software
development company is now looking to take that money back on allegations that
Aziz has failed to meet his obligations that were a part of the severance
package.
The situation is only really going to escalate from here by all accounts – Aziz
has requested an extraordinary shareholders meeting…something that the online
casino software development company is fighting tooth and nail. If the
shareholders decide to meet up concerning this situation with Aziz they will
also likely review and critique the company’s current progress in cutting Euro
13 million from CrypotoLogic’s operations budget.
Aziz claims that the meeting is quite necessary despite what CryptoLogic is
pushing – he notes that it is very important for the shareholders to review all
of the current changes that are taking place within the company to ensure that
CryptoLogic is on the right path and continuing to develop and focus on its
quality gaming software designed for the online casino gambling industry. |
