Framework for Analysis

 

In your report, discuss the following information

 

1. The Chief Executive Officer

• Who is the CEO of the company? How long has he or she been CEO?

• How much did the CEO make last year? What form did the compensation take(salary, bonus, and option components)?

• How much equity in the company does the CEO own and in what form (shares or options)?

 

2. The Board of Directors

as directors?

• How many of the directors are inside directors?

• How many of the directors have other connections to the firm (as suppliers,

clients, customers, etc.)?

• Do any of the directors have large stockholdings or represent those who do?

 

3. Bondholder Concerns

• Does the firm have any publicly traded debt?

• Are there are bond covenants (that you can uncover) that have been imposed

on the firm as part of the borrowing?
