WINNIPEG, Feb. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - Novra Technologies Inc. ("Novra") (TSX-V: NVI). With Novra's acquisition of controlling interest of Wegener Corporation (Wegener) on December 29, 2017, the Board of Directors met this week to review the CEO's performance over the past 24 months and adjust his compensation.
The Board acknowledged and commended Novra's CEO, Harris Liontas, for the significant corporate achievements over the past 24 months resulting in increased shareholder value and positioning Novra for future acquisitions and market share growth. Key achievements noted were:
The board further noted that from 2005 to 2016 the CEO reduced his salary from $160,000 to $15,000 per annum to enable Novra to pay back loans totalling more than $1,250,000 plus accrued interest to the Crocus Investment Fund and the Manitoba Science & Technology Fund and fund other operating expenses. During those years, only $305,000 in additional salary obligation was accrued and none of that has been paid out.
The CEO's decision to forgo 90% of his salary has kept over $1.9M in the company over the ensuing 12 year and has prevented Novra from having to raise that capital, avoiding a potential significant dilution to shareholders' stock. Using equity to raise this capital would have required Novra to issue as many as 27 million new shares causing a greater than 55% dilution to the 22 million total shares outstanding in 2006.
