Story of the Week (DR):Tim Cook Could Still Out-Earn Apple's New CEO John Ternus Under a Special Pay ArrangementApple set John Ternus's fiscal 2027 salary at $3M and his annual equity award at $55M, giving him a calculated fiscal 2027 salary-and-equity package of $58M.Cook will receive a $2M salary and a $45M annual equity award as executive chair, giving him a calculated salary-and-equity package of $47M.Almost all of the value in both packages comes through Apple shares rather than salary. Ternus has 75% of his equity award tied to performance, while Cook has 50% tied to performance.That structure gives Ternus greater exposure to performance, for better or worse. If Apple performs strongly against other S&P 500 companies, Ternus could receive more from his equity award. If the performance-based awards pay little or nothing, Cook could receive more from salary and equity even though he is no longer CEO. Cook also has a retirement provision that Ternus does not have.Volkswagen Supervisory Board Approves Plan To Slash Models & Reduce Workforce By 100,000In June, Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume had a plan to close four factories in Germany and eliminate 100,000 workers, both in Germany and around the world, by 2030. It said the plan would be made public at a company board meeting on July 9. July 9 came and went, and the plan did not get the approval from the board of directors that Blume expected. The vote was 12 against and only 7 in favor of Blume's vision.Then, on September 3, 2026, Volkswagen Group announced that the plan submitted in June had been approved unanimously by the supervisory board.CEO Oliver Blume: “The Supervisory Board has unanimously approved the Executive Board's Future Plan presented today. This is a strong sign for the future of the Volkswagen Group. We are taking responsibility for our entire team, for our partners and for industrial jobs worldwide.”CEOs in pop cultureThe new trailer for the OpenAI movie imagines what Sam Altman's stash of guns and gold looks likeStarring Spiderman/Andrew GarfieldElizabeth Holmes' Secret Documentary Revealed After She Invited a Film Crew 34 Days Before PrisonTheranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is the subject of A24 documentary 'You Can See Everything' directed by satirist Nathan Fielder and Lance OppenheimElizabeth Holmes' greatest invention: 'Elizabeth Holmes'Elon Musk's Worst Nightmare Just Dropped: Explosive Teaser Takes Aim at the BillionaireAlex Gibney: Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room The 48-second teaser for Musk begins by portraying the billionaire as a visionary, with voices describing him as 'possibly the greatest living inventor' and the 'real-life Iron Man'.

I can take a simple company that does shit that people need and is boring and make FULL CRYPTO DUDE!”His name is Milton Ault, and he buys nearly 230,000 shares on the market in late 2024 and cons JLA Realty - an actual real estate company who owned 8% of UUU in early 2025 - to give him the shares to vote in late 2024Milton Ault III, who sounds like he's struggled deeply in life, is the founder of “Hyperscale Data” and “BitNile” who loves to buy majority stakes in companies and then force them to do crypto and AI data centers - you know, all the stuff cool kids doHe gets an MOU and appointed to the boardBy mid 2025, he has the company start a new subsidiary called Universal DeFi that generates AULT coin - so now their annual report and proxy says “we make a bunch of outlets, oh and now we do AULT coin crypto defi whatever!”“we marketed a line of residential smoke and carbon monoxide alarms… We also market door chimes, ventilation products, ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI's), and other electrical devices… We also exhibit and sell our products at various trade shows, including the annual National Hardware Show.”... NEXT PARAGRAPH“In July 2025, we formed Universal DeFi LLC as a new venture to diversify the business and explore new paths for revenue and stockholder value. Universal DeFi is pursuing two lines of business. First, Universal DeFi is developing and intends to own and operate a tokenization platform, which has not yet commenced operations. Tokenization is the process of representing ownership of real-world or financial assets as a digital token recorded on a blockchain, which is a shared digital record-keeping system maintained across many computers simultaneously, with no single controlling authority. The platform will provide technology and infrastructure for issuers to tokenize their assets. Second, subsequent to the last fiscal year end, Universal DeFi has acquired and commenced limited operations running licensed nodes and a validator on the Ault Blockchain, as described under “Ault Node Operations” below.”In the 2026 proxy, Ault forces the company to issue Class B shares issued after special meeting The new class of common stock would consist of 25,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share. Each share of our Class B Common Stock would generally have terms identical to a share of our Class A Common Stock, except with respect to voting power. Stockholders would be entitled to twenty-five votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held by them compared to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock, when voting together on matters presented to our stockholders. - the 25 vote petty tyrant premium!Then, INVESTORS APPROVE ITI just wanted to buy the stock of a simple light socket company and I can't even fucking do that without a tech crypto bro with a goatee making it horrible - I sold my shares after a proxy solicitor called me to ask “how do you think you'll vote on this?”Enphase Energy DRDo your best to ignore Enphase Energy's absurd series of events:Longest tenured and Class II director Benjamin Kortlang, director since Obama was in his first term (16 years), along with three of his colleagues (Jamie Haenggi and Richard Mora) comes up for election in the May annual meeting.Said election is not without import – the classified board means a Kortlang election victory would take him to 2029 before he sees another vote, guaranteeing him a near 20 year tenure at a company where he's produced a pure mediocre 0.538 TSR (where 0.500 is median for all peer directors) and a not-so-great 0.348 CEO pay ratio (he likes approving pay that's higher than average relative to peer median).The vote happens on May 13, the results are released on May 15, and the 8K shows Kortlang got 43% approval – the rare non majority for the sleepy, passive American proxy voters – with only 36m shares in approval versus 48m shares withheld. Kortlang's fellow classmates got a more respectable 84% and 94% approval – maybe Kortlang being chair of the nominating committee with a 16 year tenure on a classified plurality board was just one straw too many.On June 11, Enphase increases the size of its board and adds a new Class I director, Shanker Trivedi, who is added less than a month after the AGM and won't see an election until 2028 for the first time. So even as investors want directors OUT, Enphase shrugs and gives another director immunity from a vote for 2 yearsIt takes Enphase until August 10 – THREE FULL MONTHS since the AGM – to respond to the investor vote against Kortlang, in which they say the board “unanimously voted to retain Mr. Kortlang as a member” based on the report of the nominating committee (Kortlang recused himself to avoid the appearance that he could influence the people on the committee he chairs who have less tenure and experience than he does). They reject the vote, but issue the following: ‘“The Board approached this review with great care and took the stockholder vote seriously," said Steve Gomo, chair of Enphase Energy's Board of Directors. "We concluded that Mr. Kortlang's experience, judgment, independence, and contributions remain valuable to the Board and the company. We also believe Mr. Malchow is well positioned to lead the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as we continue to strengthen our governance practices.”'GASLIT: At this point it's worth asking whether this gaslight is necessary? Can we dispense with it? His “independence” after 16 years, and guaranteeing 19 years with the classified structure? “Strengthen our governance practices,” says the company that expanded the board LESS THAN A MONTH after shareholders reject their structure and director, only to add a new director who can avoid a vote for 2 years? A board where only TWO directors are tagged as having merit on paper? Where Kortlang is one of two directors who are considered entirely deferential to management? While this is another new excuse?SEC Chair Paul Atkins and the snowflake corporate nanny stateJust “clarified” 13G (passive investor) engagement rules, and had some riveting thoughts of what investors (THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANY) can do:Investors can generally participate in discussions initiated by an issuer about its views or voting decisions.Like the Bumble of corporate engagement, the company must swipe first and ask “why did you vote that way?”The SEC went on to say that “participation” in those discussions will not “by itself” disqualify you as passiveThen this: investors will be able to approach issuers to seek clarification about information in company filings, including proxy materials, without automatically losing their Schedule 13G statusHe just told investors what they can ask about - you can only ask about what got printed in our filing that says how great we are - no questions about the news, investigations, actual real world risks…OR, you could go with a normal asshole speed round:Anthropic Wants Governments to Stop 'Catastrophic' AI Models Before They Are DeployedDude who makes and sells models wants someone to stop him from making and selling modelsTrump dismisses warnings that AI could wipe out humanity, saying China is the real AI riskNot American Corporate China: Zuck, Altman, Musk, Sergey/LarryMajor Seattle CEOs demand 100-day action plan on public safety from socialist Mayor Katie WilsonSatya Nadella and Brian Niccol are demanding that the lady who's been in office for 8 months fix PUBLIC SAFETY in the next 100 days having nothing to do with the fact that she's a lady and a progressiveLetters were not penned to former mayors…Ed Murray, resigned due to multiple allegations of child abuse, rape, and sexual molestationBruce Harrell, who in 1996 pointed a gun at a man, his mother, and his pregnant wife, in a Council Bluffs casinoPeople are comparing the letter to OTHER lady mayor Jenny DurkanUber's CEO says you could see lower ride prices as a result of its layoffsRemember that every ride: you are taking someone's payHumans need to 'surf the wave' of AI rather than get swallowed by it, Chesky says at CommunacopiaAmazon is being sued for allegedly firing and denying breaks to pregnant warehouse workersIsn't peeing in a bottle enough of a break?Headliniest of the WeekDR: Ryanair CEO disputes report that injured passenger was partly sucked out window: “He wasn't partially out the window.

FinPod: Corporate Bankruptcy Strategy - Reorganization vs. LiquidationWhen a major corporation files for bankruptcy, it's not always the end, it's often a high-stakes financial strategy for survival. In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we unpack the mechanics of corporate failure, differentiating between total liquidation and strategic rebirth, and detailing the skills finance teams use under immense pressure.The Two Doors of Corporate FailureA distressed company faces two distinct legal paths in the U.S., each with a polar opposite outcome:Chapter 7: Liquidation The company ceases all operations immediately. A trustee sells off all assets to pay creditors, and the business is gone forever. Stockholders are typically wiped out.Chapter 11: Reorganization A court-supervised process designed to allow the business to survive. It provides a massive shield, halting creditor lawsuits and allowing management time to perform radical surgery on the balance sheet.The Mechanics of Rebirth (Chapter 11)Chapter 11 demands core financial maneuvers that would be impossible in a normal environment:Debt-for-Equity Swap: The core strategic twist. Debt owed to bondholders is often converted into equity. The company's most risk-averse creditors suddenly become the new owners, fundamentally changing the company's DNA and strategy.DIP Financing: Debtor in Possession financing provides the company's lifeblood. This new debt is given super-priority status by the court, meaning it jumps ahead of all pre-existing creditors for repayment, keeping the lights on during restructuring.Surgical Restructuring: The court grants the power to break expensive, long-term contracts, such as unsustainable legacy store leases, supply deals, or labor contracts, allowing the company to shed structural costs and emerge healthier.Case Studies: Successes vs. Terminal FailuresWe examine the difference between collapse and rebirth through real-world examples:Reorganization Successes: General Motors (GM) and Delta Airlines used Chapter 11 to eliminate unprofitable brands, restructure billions in debt, and shed massive legacy obligations. Marvel Entertainment used restructuring to regain control of its IP.Terminal Failures: Lehman Brothers' debt hole was too deep. Toys R Us was suffocated by debt, leaving zero capital for crucial e-commerce investment, leading to liquidation.The Finance War Room: Skills Under PressureFor finance teams, Chapter 11 is the ultimate test of operational resilience:The 13-Week Cash Flow Model: This is the absolute backbone of the entire reorganization. It's treated like a legal document, forecasting every dollar in and out week-by-week. Missing the forecast can trigger immediate liquidation.Cash Flow Triage: Teams monitor liquidity hourly, prioritizing payments to payroll and critical vendors ahead of old creditors and making required payments on the DIP financing.Strategic Question: The process is designed to create a healthier, less indebted company, but does making bondholders the new majority owners inadvertently stifle the company's long-term appetite for innovation?

Listen along as one of the world's most successful investors shares all the things that are more meaningful to him than money.

Today we were thrilled to welcome our good friend Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes, former Deputy Director for Batteries and Critical Materials at the U.S. Department of Energy, to our offices in Houston. Ashley brings more than a decade of experience in acquiring, financing, and developing greenfield and brownfield mining projects, with deep expertise across the global mining supply chain. She served in the Biden Administration from January 2024 to January 2025, overseeing deployment of capital and tax incentives into the U.S. battery supply chain. Prior to her government service, Ashley was Co-Founder and President of Black Mountain Metals and Black Mountain Exploration. We were delighted to host Ashley for a timely and insightful conversation on the state of the global metals and minerals landscape. In our discussion, we explore the bipartisan consensus on reducing U.S. dependence on foreign-sourced metals and minerals, particularly from China. Ashley shares her experience at the DOE and her goal to buy down demand risk to attract private capital, especially for large-scale processing infrastructure. We discuss the surge of investment and momentum in lithium brine projects in the U.S. along with efforts to accelerate domestic mining, including the Trump Administration's move to expedite permits for 20 projects. Ashley outlines the tension between the desire to onshore more production and the current lack of downstream markets outside China, which remains a bottleneck for full supply chain development in the U.S. She shares innovative developments in processing methods, including China's nickel conversion efforts in Indonesia, the potential for copper to be codified as a critical mineral in upcoming legislation, and why permitting reform and seabed mining are bandaids for the larger challenge of unit economics in the U.S. Ashley further explains the difficulty in making margins at each U.S. supply chain stage, especially when compared to China's vertically integrated structure and non-profit-driven strategy, the benefits of targeted tariffs to protect nascent U.S. industries, and the lack of U.S. processing as the true choke point. She highlights the decline of U.S. stockpiles from Cold War levels to today, how the materials once stockpiled fueled the Allied victory in WWII, the depleted reserves in the U.S. today, the complexities involved in the U.S. minerals agreement with Ukraine, challenges in raising capital for mining projects, and the limited investor base. We also examine how structured government support will be essential for the U.S. to be competitive, Ashley's next steps in her pursuit of sourcing and supporting “weird and wonderful” mining transactions, and more. As you will hear, Ashley offers a unique mix of policy insight, deep market understanding, and a genuine passion for rebuilding the U.S. industrial base. We're thankful for her time and insights. Mike Bradley opened the discussion by noting that broader markets were down marginally for the day and that “Trumpatility” appears to be temporarily subsiding. He highlighted a handful of notable developments in energy markets over the past week, first being OPEC+ agreeing to another ~400kbpd increase in June oil production in addition to the ~400kbpd production increase in May, both of which are being done into an oversupplied global oil market. Saudi seems to be the main driver of the OPEC+ increases and offered several reasons for their actions at this juncture. The second development relates to a big change in E&P mindset that's occurred over the last couple of weeks at these lower oil price levels (high $50s/low $60s). A handful of E&Ps recently announced cuts to their 2025 capital programs (CTRA, EOG & FANG) and others are fully expected to announce cuts this week and next. The final development was Diamondback Energy's recent Letter to Stockholders (linked

On April 5, 1976, the richest man in the world died of medical neglect on board a jet bound for Houston. At the time of his death, Howard Hughes had not been seen in public for nearly twenty years. With a massive fortune that enabled his worsening mental disorders, Hughes, once famous the world over, receded from the public eye, and for the last decades of his life, ruled a vast and often unsuccessful business empire confined entirely to his bed. In time the expansive and opaque system that Hughes engineered to ensure his own isolation grew out of his own control, and as he sat in his penthouse, seeing only seven people in fifteen years, an army of self serving executives made decisions on his affairs entirely without his knowledge. While Hughes seemed to lose money on every transaction, he made a lot of his employees and their friends very wealthy. This story is a tragedy- the tale of a man who was both created and destroyed thanks to his proximity to great wealth, culminating in his own death in conditions so deplorable his corpse had to be identified via fingerprint by the FBI. In his 70 years, Howard Hughes can certainly be said to have left a colorful mark on American history.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft plan to expand support for a common passwordless sign-in standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium; IBM shareholders have urged the company to report on concealment clauses that prevent employees from discussing workplace wrongdoing. And Wipro and HFCL team up to make 5G routers. Apple, Google and Microsoft yesterday announced plans to expand support for a common passwordless sign-in standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium, according to a post on the alliance's website. Based on its standards — which tie authentication to a physical device, such as a user's smartphone — users will sign in through the same action that they take multiple times each day to unlock their devices, such as a simple verification of their fingerprint or face, or a device PIN. This new approach protects against phishing, and sign-in will be more secure compared with passwords and legacy multi-factor technologies such as one-time passcodes sent over SMS, according to the post. IBM shareholders at the IT giant's annual meeting last month endorsed a proposal to have the company produce a public report on the potential risks arising from its use of concealment clauses that constrain disclosure of workplace misconduct, The Register reports, citing a statement yesterday from Clean Yield Asset Management, a US-based investment firm focused on corporate social responsibility. In a statement on its website, Clean Yield Asset Management said that 64.7 percent of IBM shareholders supported a proposal submitted by the investment firm calling on the company to report on its use of concealment clauses at IBM's 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The support for this proposal comes at a time when leading companies such as Google and Salesforce are scaling back the use of these problematic clauses and lawmakers at the state and federal levels are taking steps to end their use. Specifically, Clean Yield's proposal calls on the Board to report on the potential risks to IBM associated with its use of concealment clauses in the context of harassment, discrimination, and other unlawful acts. Concealment clauses are any employment or post-employment agreement, such as arbitration, nondisclosure or non-disparagement agreements that IBM asks employees to sign which would limit their ability to discuss unlawful acts in the workplace, including harassment and discrimination. Wipro, India's fourth-biggest IT services provider, and HFCL, a leading telecom equipment manufacturer and technology provider, have entered into a partnership to engineer a variety of 5G transport products that include Cell Site Router, Distributed Unit Aggregation Router, and Centralised Unit Aggregation Router, the companies said in a press release. With expertise in product engineering, transport network technologies and 5G, Wipro will co-develop equipment with HFCL. Wipro will use Tarang Labs, its product compliance and certification labs in Bangalore, for hardware integration, validation and pre-certification.

0:00 Intro.1:37 Start of interview2:19 Joel's "origin story". He grew up in Stamford, Connecticut ("it was a land of many corporate headquarters"). He went to Wharton undergrad and U. Penn Law School. Later, he clerked at the Court of Chancery in Delaware and worked at Skadden's Wilmington office in Delaware "[the office] had been built around the hostile takeover litigation in the 1980s." In 1995, he joined a new litigation boutique with Stephen Lamb (later Vice-Chancellor of the DE Court of Chancery). Andre Bouchard (later Chancellor of the DE Court of Chancery) joined in 1996.5:35 The difference between plaintiff and corporate/defense firms, starting at law schools and law student recruitment.7:04 On the historical evolution of stockholder litigation. Joel teaches a course on stockholder litigation at Penn Law School and Michigan Law School. On how the hostile deals in the 1980s changed the stockholder litigation landscape: "Many of the largest and most sophisticated law firms were suing each other, and that's where most of the law was created."10:50 On the evolution of class action and derivative actions in stockholder litigation.13:01 On the concept of Fraud on the Board. "Commission of fraud on the board is an omnipresent temptation for self-interested controllers, activist stockholders, officers, financial advisors, and their legal counsel. Fraud can be used to put a company in play, steer a sale process toward a favored bidder, suppress the sale price to a controller, or make a favored bid look more attractive."15:56 "Not long ago, over 90% of deals over $100m were sued on, and in most of those cases the stockholders got nothing (prevalence of disclosure settlements)." He advocated for the elimination of disclosure settlements. "In about 2015, the litigation landscape changed." 23:40 On the evolution of Section 220 books and records stockholder demands.26:37 How director oversight duties have evolved ("Caremark claims"). The impact of the Delaware Supreme Court case of Marchand (2019) focused on food safety. 30:12 How Boeing's stockholders obtained approval from the Delaware Court of Chancery for a landmark US$237.5 million settlement of derivative claims targeting the company's board for safety failures that led to catastrophic crashes of two 737 MAX jetliners in 2018 and 2019. *The company disclosed that the two crashes caused US$20 billion in non-litigation costs and more than US$2.5 billion in litigation costs.35:16 On private venture-backed company deal-making and litigation, particularly in Silicon Valley. The Good Technology case, where director defendants and their affiliated VC funds settled for $17m and the financial advisor JP Morgan settled for $35 million for claims against  arising out of challenge to dual-track sale/IPO process that resulted in sale of company to BlackBerry Limited.40:24 "It's hard to find plaintiffs [in Silicon Valley], there are different obstacles and roadblocks to litigation."42:38 "In [private venture-backed companies] sometimes you don't have directors who have experience in certain situations, like selling a public company (sophistication of M&A in public settings)."43:48 "What is ubiquitous is financial advisor conflicts of interest, in Silicon Valley or in any other public company scenario." The example of the Good Technology case.45:35 On conflicts of legal counsel in deal-making (criticism of law firm behavior). Example: $690 million damages award based on controller's reliance on outside counsel's legal opinion.47:44 The 1-3 books that have greatly influenced his life (that he's re-read the most):The Great Gatsby,  by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1925)The Trial, by Franz Kafka (1925)Books by Professor Philip Reiff (sociologist from the U. of Pennsylvania), such as Fellow Teachers, the Triumph of the Therapeutic, Freud: the Mind of a Moralist.49:08 - Who were your mentors, and what did you learn from them? Philip Reiff, at U. of Pennsylvania.Chancellor William T. Allen.Stuart Shapiro (in litigation).53:04 - Are there any quotes you think of often? In a NYT review of the autobiography of Sammy the Bull Gravano he read a quote that said "At some point you've got to ask yourself, are you going to continue being a punk, or are you going to become a racketeer?"52:40- An unusual habit or an absurd thing that he loves: Twitter. 53:27 - The living person he most admires: Volodymyr Zelensky.Joel Friedlander is a partner at Friedlander & Gorris.
