FACT CHECK: SRT Shareholders Coalition Examines Andy Batinovich’s Fictitious Claims
*ATTN SHAREHOLDERS: RETURN THE ORANGE BALLOT FOR A FAIR SHAREHOLDERS MEETING*
FOR MORE INFO VISIT WWW.PROTECTOURINVESTMENT.ORG
BATINOVICH’S FICTITIOUS CLAIMS | THE FACTS |
o | Batinovich Claim: The SRT Shareholders Coalition is “Tony’s friends who want to bring him back in”. | ü | FACT: The SRT Shareholders Coalition was formed by an independent group of shareholders representing millions of dollars of shares who are concerned about protecting your investment. They believe it’s important to replace the current board of directors and managers who have enriched themselves with big pay increases at shareholder expense. The coalition proxy statement calls for the removal of the entire board of directors and Mr. Thompson will resign after the Coalition’s nominees have been elected. |
o | Batinovich Claim: A shareholders meeting is scheduled for January 10, 2014 and there is no need for a special meeting. | ü | FACT: Batinovich, Levin, Maier and Rogers only called a long overdue annual meeting once the shareholders coalition publicly demanded one. There is no guarantee that they will not postpone the meeting. Signing and returning the Orange Ballot will protect the shareholders’ right to an open meeting and a fair election by ensuring one happens. |
o | Batinovich Claim: Changing the bylaws to prevent an unwanted takeover protects shareholders. | ü | FACT: We believe that Batinovich, Levin, Maier and Rogers conspired to change the SRT bylaws only to protect themselves, not shareholders, once the facts began to surface regarding their big compensation packages and mishandling of the SRT properties. In our view, they were afraid their own records would not stand with shareholders. |
o | Batinovich Claim: A Special Meeting is causing uncertainty. | ü | FACT: A regular stockholder meeting is critical to ensuring transparent, accountable and competent leadership is at the helm of your investment. Any party who attempts to block a fair election vote and avoid a shareholder performance review knows their record won’t pass muster. |
o | Batinovich Claim: Citing independent appraisals, like the one that valued Lahaina Gateway Center at $37 million, is a simplistic way of doing real estate that will get you in trouble. | ü | FACT: Lahaina Gateway Center met a tried and true investment criteria used to assess properties for acquisition by being purchased 1) significantly below replacement cost (Purchase Price: $31M, Lender Appraisal: $37M, and Total Development Cost $65M+), 2) in the path of growth, and, 3) with a value add component. |
