Board of Directors

Since we talked about BOD last night I thought I would introduce you to Cott's.

Mark Benadiba (Corporate Director)
George A. Burnett (CEO, Alta Collegues, Inc.)
David T. Gibbons (Chairman)
Stephen H. Halperin (Partner, Goodmans, LLP)
Betty Jane Hess (Corporate Director)
Jerry Fowden (CEO of Cott)
Gregory Monahan (Managing Director, Crescendo Partners, LP)
Mario Pilozzi (Corporate Director)
Andrew Prozes (Global CEO, LexisNexis Group)
Eric Rosenfeld (President and CEO, Crescendo Partners, LP)
Graham Savage (Chairman, Callisto Capital LP)

The board has eleven members with only one female director. Four new directors were elected in June 2008 (Eric Rosenfeld, Greg Monahan, Mark Benadiba and Mario Pilozzi). Three members that recently served on the board resigned (Frank Weise, Don Watt, and Serge Gouin). Cott is currently trying to focus its efforts on private label business.

  1. It also looks like the positions of CEO and Chairman are separated.

    They have an appropriate size

    What about the ratio of insiders to outsiders?

    Did those board member resign because they were retired (any whiff of conflict)?

  2. Cott's Board of Directors has three inside directors and eight outside directors according to the company's most recent DEF 14A.

    The resigning board members did not retire they resigned in order to facilitate the changes that Cott was currently undertaking. I did not find any material or articles that released that there were hard feelings about the departures of these members.
