Chapter 11 - The Emergency Board Meeting Votes Grant Out
Inside the executive boardroom of Whitmore Capital, twelve furious board members sat around a long glass table reviewing financial charts.
The company’s stock price had plummeted by ninety-two percent in single-day trading, wiping out hundreds of millions of dollars in value.
Arthur Vance’s lead corporate strategist, Daniel Mercer, sat at the head of the table holding forty-five percent of proxy voting rights.
“Gentlemen, Grant Whitmore’s personal scandal has rendered this firm completely toxic to institutional markets,” Daniel announced clearly.
“Vance Global is willing to inject fifty million dollars in emergency capital to stabilize the firm under one strict condition,” Daniel added.
“What condition?” the primary board member asked, leaning forward with desperate hope written across his aging face.
“Grant Whitmore must be immediately stripped of his CEO title, his equity shares canceled for breach of ethics, and his name removed,” Daniel stated.
