For what it is worth some history on Brian Johnson.
He has a non executive role at LNC so is not part of the management team as such.
To the best of my knowledge he holds 10,137,932 shares & 27,000,000 options in EVG, so it would appear he takes his very seriously indeed.
It would also appear he had a very hands on roles in all his other associations, the same as with EVG
I don’t know any info that is not fully available to the public so I am guessing as much as anyone else.
To date EVG have been a rough old ride --- so even though I am giving them a few posts --- it is maybe as much because they are such an ignored stock – as much as anything else.
I better resist from posting any more.
