  • My Kind of Gardening

    Resource Capital Corp. (RSO) has redefined the concept of gardening. In a recent 8-K filing, RSO disclosed new employment terms for Vice President David Bloom. Of course, the terms aren’t that new — the agreement was reached in December 2007. Maybe Resource Capital was tending to its vegetables and forgot about its [...]

  • A Generous Goodbye

    Regular Footnoted readers know that we target holiday filings as being especially juicy. So it’s no surprise that we had plenty of contenders for today’s post. However, this golden goodbye (as spotted by eagle-eyed reporter Sonya) easily took the cake. White Electronic Designs (WEDC) is sending off President and CEO Hamid R. [...]

  • Freud in the filings…

    Anyone who reads filings regularly knows that they’re often painfully dry.

And bylaw changes clearly qualify as being close to the center of the earth because of the legalistic language that takes more than a few cups of coffee to get through. But yesterday, Apple (AAPL) filed this 8K with [...]

  • A golden guarantee at GFI Group…

    The stock price of GFI Group (GFIG), an interdealer broker, took a bounce when the firm announced on July 31 that it was in merger talks with UK-based Tullett Prebon plc. (If the two companies do hook up, I guess someone will have to decide whether the combined firm is in the business of “broking,” as the British [...]

  • What’s been going on at Pioneer?

  • Not just new decor at Ruby Tuesday…

    Two weeks ago, Ruby Tuesday (RT) staged a mock demolition to drive the point home that the restaurant chain was changing. But the demolition, which was a big hit on YouTube, judging by this long list of people who filmed it, actually showed another chain restaurant being blown up, prompting the company to issue what [...]
