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.
In the light of yesterday’s piece on boardroom piggery, wrong figures in RNSs, incorrect data given to Dart’s shareholders etc – you can read it HERE I have now checked through all IGas’ share issue announcements and Companies House Filings, with particular regard to the holdings and ‘interests’ of CEO Andrew Austin.

£600,000 salary ! the parasitic bastard . Thats 4 times the PM ‘s salary for doing a monumentally shite job . Call an EGM and sack the bastard or make him give £500,000 to the RED CROSS Ebola fund . How does that bastard sleep at night ?
Karma is going to get him big time . Sleep tight Mr Austin …….. dont have nightmares ……. the Karma is coming trust me.

Wildrides – yep, actually a total package of £631,000! And that was down from a total package of £760,000 in the year to March 2013. Oh, the hardship! Perhaps it will be helped by the award of over 6k nil-cost options (at current share price worth well over £300k). And then there are over 1,000,000 nil-cost options which (subject to various criteria) will have vested on 21 Nov 2014. But never mind, if the criteria are not met there are still two other incentive packages to look forward to.
Sleeping at night – hmmm, I reckon I’d sleep pretty well of I was coining it at a rate of £1,728.76 per day (including weekends).
But I’d be a bit concerned as to what I might say at the pearly gates.
I hear it is rather hot at the ‘other place’. What, I wonder, is fuelling the fires there?
As you say, sleep tight…..don’t have nightmares – about the tax bill
