Ulric Weil
We have a history of accretive transactions that have significantly benefited shareholders.

Sarbanes-Oxley requires that public companies report these exposures on their 10Qs, so the reserves shortfall is right out there in the open. Helping reduce the possibility of a shareholders' lawsuit over leaving your largest risk uninsured could be called a bonus that comes with the policy, no extra charge.
Scott Pales
It is ridiculous that Bank of America feels that it should pay compensation for murky business dealings of long-defunct banks. Instead of standing up for their rights and the best interests of shareholders, Bank of America has chosen to take the coward's route of least resistance and pay off the shakedown artists in the reparations movement.
John Carlisle
We're trying to be very proactive, in the best interest of the shareholders.
Shelly Grice

I believe this union provides major benefits for our customers, employees and shareholders.
Paul Newton

Mick Coombes

Brendan Stewart
If AT&T, for example, is any indication, the shareholders have a lot to gain (from this effort). The executives?have the belief that the parts are worth more than the whole. And to get one piece of that sexy Internet business in this kind of a market, they could very well be right.
Chris Grisanti
We hope the milestone will get us on the radar screen of more investment firms, which would be a plus for our stock and for our shareholders.
William Long

Gordon Young
Investors who had been less aware of mutual fund taxes had a rude awakening in 2000, when many funds had low or negative returns but still paid out large taxable distributions. Many shareholders who, in the past, might have been dismissive about fund taxes were horrified to learn they will be paying taxes on fund investments on which they lost money last year.
Duncan Richardson
If you're asking if we should reinvest all our profits, I'm all for it. But I don't think our shareholders would understand.

Guy Hallwright
The leadership development and compensation committee has failed to align executive pay with performance in any meaningful way, as shareholders continue to be impacted by a long-stagnant share price.

There's a good chance this will come down to the shareholders.

Peter Fader
Based on all of the testimony and exhibits ... I conclude that plaintiffs have failed to prove that HP disseminated materially false information about its integration efforts or about the financial data provided to its shareholders.
William Chandler
Why would you give 22 per cent to your competition? I've never heard of it, where you have your competition making record profits south of the border and Canada has to give 22 per cent. This money belongs to the companies and their shareholders, and the Canadian government is giving it away.
Stephen Atkinson
Our solution now is to completely take over Napster. We want to buy out the original shareholders. We have made them an offer, because we believe that our strategy is the right one for the future of the company.
Thomas Middelhoff
We were able to come to an agreement with Goldman Sachs on the pre-IPO market. We feel that 9 billion euro is a fair value, not overly exciting, and it's an objective value that we can put before shareholders and give them a benchmark to look at our business.
Canning Fok
Our shareholders include people who print our books, our distributors, our authors, everyone. And we're not publicly traded, so that means it's charitable. And we don't offer advances. We actually have a lot of big-house refugees. They felt like an advance is nice, but they weren't treated well.
Jeevan Sivasubramaniam
This is a wake-up call that boards no longer do deals for the people at the top but for what is best for the shareholders.
Diana Yates
Again, it looks like it's too expensive. Looks like it's a little too much. It's good for the Guidant shareholders. But we'll see in a couple of years. I think it will play out similar to history, and that is Boston Scientific will look pretty smart here.
Thom Gunderson
I really haven't seen any situations, even with the most aggressive smaller hedge funds, where they have put their interest ahead of the other shareholders.
Ralph Whitworth
I think it's a good deal for shareholders longer term. The BN shareholders are disappointed because the premium is pretty far down the road. But rail growth today is coming from expanded networks.
Terry Gardner
We are moving swiftly to complete the separation by the end of the year if possible, and to do so in a way that minimizes tax implications and delivers the most value to our shareholders.

John Punches
Shareholders are pressuring everyone to disclose what they are doing in the environmental arena.
Michael Johnston
Our amended offer addresses all of the outstanding issues raised by Guidant's Board. We strongly encourage the Guidant Board to act in the best interests of Guidant shareholders by declaring our $73 per share offer superior to the revised $67.92 per share transaction with Johnson & Johnson.
Pete Nicholas
Until there's a practical solution for nuclear waste disposal, we believe the liabilities from nuclear power pose an enormous risk to both the environment and shareholders. Also, nuclear is not cost effective, if you apply the full cost of waste disposal and decommissioning plants, as well as the potential environmental liabilities of accidents.
Carsten Henningsen
The leadership of an organization has no job more important than making sure everyone knows the importance of the customer. CEOs who want real job security should try to please customers, not shareholders.
Craig Cochran
In addition to providing liquidity to our original shareholders, TA's resources and networks will accelerate our growth plans to take advantage of the significant opportunities in the credit derivatives market.
Sunil Hirani
We are pleased that our earnings and resulting strong cash flow enable us to provide an improved return to our shareholders in the form of dividends. Our goal is to ensure that our yield remains competitive. This increase is the eighth time since January 2003 we have raised the dividend, representing a 94 percent increase during that period.
David Kyle
I'd say the majority of shareholders, maybe 95 percent, will sell back.
Tomas Taterka
If this is correct, your shareholders should be outraged that such a transaction was not consummated.
Richard Grubman
In the first year of our new capital structure, we delivered solid performance and shared the company's success with our shareholders.
Mike Weaver
After this, RNRL being the same body of RIL shareholders, it would have the right to distribute the next 28 MBTU gas derived from the basin to group's power generation facilities.
Anil Ambani
Spinning it off kind of just gives the problems to your shareholders, and a joint venture really doesn't do much for you. The optimal plan would be to sell it and use the cash to reduce debt.
Cai Von Rumohr
There's been no reduction in the intensity of efforts of us looking at transactions, but transactions have to create value for shareholders. We do want them to be in existing categories or adjacent to them.
Howard Green
In the last decade, Coca-Cola shareholders have seen a revolving door of top executives cash in big rewards while financial performance lagged.
Thomas Keegel
Although we have had indications from certain Skandia shareholders that they do not accept, this has got a long way to go.
Julian Roberts
It's a security blanket for investors. It tells them the company has real cash flows, real profits that the company can pay out (to shareholders) in cold, hard cash every quarter.
Mathew Emmert
It's a history of sorts. We have become the first company to create this kind of wealth for our shareholders without floating an IPO (initial public offering).
Anil Ambani
Archipelago was created with the vision of making markets better for all investors, a vision that we share with the NYSE and has led us to this historic day. I am extremely proud of the innovation, the technology and the value Archipelago has brought to its customers and shareholders and am excited about combining our strengths with those of the NYSE.
Jerry Putnam
It's a terminal loss of influence for the shareholders of the London Stock exchange, ... They get an 18.5 percent stake in a tightly controlled company. In addition, it does nothing for them as a customers.
Don Cruickshank
Brink's business and financial profiles have improved following the sale of BAX Global. Not only has Brink's eliminated its exposure to a very cyclical and competitive business, it now also has sufficient funds to significantly reduce debt, and still reward shareholders.
Lisa Jenkins
The Anti-Reciprocal Rule is designed to ensure that firms recommend mutual funds on their merits and not because of the receipt of brokerage commissions, which are assets of the mutual fund shareholders and should not be used for marketing purposes.
James Shorris
As a publicly traded company you're always available to be acquired. The board of directors, as representatives of the shareholders, have a responsibility to maximize shareholder value. If they have an offer that potentially meets that goal, they consider it.
Robert Vincent
It's a very attractive deal for shareholders.
Will Marks
They have been appallingly managed, particularly regarding acquisitions. Shareholders will be asked to dip into their pockets to pay for management mistakes.
Jamie Sandison
So the theory asks, how can shareholders ascertain what the firm's real prospects are when they have less information, ... It's a pervasive aspect of modern economies.
Joseph Stiglitz
It has become clear that in light of the continuing personal attacks on me, and the unprecedented level of negative attention our firm -- and each of you -- has had to endure, that this is the best thing I can do for you, our clients and our shareholders.
Philip Purcell
Would provide Vincor's shareholders with an immediate cash premium far greater than we believe the company can deliver on its own, given today's increasingly competitive and consolidating global wine industry.
Richard Sands
I will absolutely not resign. I've been put here by shareholders to do a job, which I will do.
Gordon Miller
Macquarie may have to raise the offer. It's a question of what shareholders want.
John Grace
We'll be investigating the first profit statement put out by the company and any consequences to shareholders.
John Burke
If the equity markets have been reluctant to reward the stock for cash you have on [the] balance sheet, for organic growth you can generate, then the only other alternative to reward shareholders is to use a special dividend. They have [the] balance sheet to tolerate it.
Bishop Cheen
We continue to have full faith and confidence in the near and long-term prospects o the company and remain committed to the goal of providing value to all shareholders.
James Dolan
We will recommend to those of our clients, who are shareholders in Nelson, to vote against this deal.
Dmitry Lukashov
Strategically it brings a lot of benefits, more from the assets and the enterprise customer base that's important than from the long distance business. Some shareholders would have rather seen a Sprint deal, but this is easier from a regulatory standpoint. There's no wireless component, and the Department of Justice will consider this in parallel with the SBC-AT&T deal.
Thomas Watts
We believe that this program is in the best interest of our shareholders and we expect that it will offset a substantial part of the dilution associated with the company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans.
Sean Lance
We want to grow the organization and improve returns to shareholders, ... If at some stage there is surplus capital - we're not at that stage now - we will return it in the optimal manner.
Martin Sullivan
If the Guidant shareholders approve the acquisition on Jan. 31, we would close shortly thereafter.
Jeff Leebaw
I almost know no reason why you wouldn't want at least part of the offering online. I mean, it's such an efficient way to get a broad group of people that generally are very supportive and long-term shareholders.
Bill Hambrecht
If a jury finds that Andersen is 70 percent at fault [for Enron's collapse], then theoretically shareholders have given up 70 percent of claims for $300 million, which is nothing.
Charles Parker
By freezing the voting rights of both LVMH and (Gucci's) employee trust, today's decision by the court will ensure that the voice of our independent shareholders will be heard at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on March 23.
Domenico De Sole
This agreement with Johnson & Johnson provides significant financial value and certainty for shareholders. Together with Johnson & Johnson, we will have the resources to continue to build upon the existing Guidant businesses in our pursuit of meaningful innovations to address cardiovascular disease.
James Cornelius
The sale provides the business with a huge surplus of capital, some of which will be returned to shareholders, which is also a move people will savor.
Angus Gluskie
Shareholders have lost total confidence in management because the stock has underperformed the S&P 500 (stock index) by 45 percent.
Gary Black
What we are looking for is an outcome that protects our customers and shareholders. After all, this is a project that generates a significant amount of electricity at a low cost.
Dave Kvamme
This agreement with Johnson and Johnson provides significant financial value and certainty for shareholders.
James Cornelius
As shareholders, we have a lot of questions. But Goldman has not provided substantive responses, either to our letters or at the shareholder meeting.
Tom Borelli
We have nothing more to add. As we have said all along, we remain focused on our plan to win, which is delivering solid results by improving our restaurant experience for customers, ensuring alignment with our franchisees and suppliers and adding value to shareholders.
Anna Rozenich
We suspect that this announcement shows that they think they can't go forward with the deal approved by shareholders. We regard this notion of the separation of control from ownership as absurd.
Duncan Robertson
There might be others coming into this bidding fight, but we will need to see interest from the LSE shareholders first.
Mattias Grenmark
Icahn is going to have to be very persuasive with shareholders for those holders to abandon the company.
Marc Cohen
Whether the delay-specific 'tab' for GE shareholders is $122 million--or even more of the $800 million of PCB-related costs--the bottom line is clear: this is a staggering amount of money and an astounding use of corporate funds to postpone the inevitable. The fact is that GE will have to clean up its toxic PCB pollution.
Sister Pat Daly
The return to shareholders in any future industry consolidation.
Philip Bowman
Minority investors, which would be all American investors, just don't have any leverage to enforce management to act in the best interest of shareholders.
Jay Ritter
They are seeking to make it virtually impossible for shareholders to amend the bylaws or remove a majority of the board.
Charles Wang
The annual meeting used to last eight hours. I think we've come up with a pretty elegant solution. Now we can get to the grass-roots shareholders without a lot of contrived filibustering.
Toni Simonetti
I think Coke's shareholders are trying to send a message to their new CEO.
John Mcmillin
Jack himself has been working the phone lines and speaking with shareholders this morning. People's money is safe here, there's no question about that.
John Demming
I do very well through this transaction, but my shareholders have done well along the way, too.
Robert Catell
After careful consideration in conjunction with our financial and legal advisors and an independent committee of Maytag's board consisting of all non-management directors, we re-evaluated the transaction with Triton and concluded that the Whirlpool agreement is superior and is in the best interest of our shareholders.
Howard Clark
We believe that transferring federal tax dollars to the bondholders and shareholders of a private firm is inappropriate.
Allan Hubbard
It sort of feels like the better-paid employees are not eating the same cooking that the shareholders are.
Richard Grubman
It's all a matter of getting the product right, and once we do that, we're confident that we'll be able to continue returning value to shareholders.
Paul Pressler
When we're wrong, we tell the customer we're sorry and we pay for it. When we're not wrong, the customer, in all fairness to our shareholders, as responsible managers, the customer has to pay for their own mistakes.
Joe Ricketts
We have already made great progress in reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. Today's announcement will further our efforts to create value for shareholders and better position Movie Gallery for long-term success.
Joe Malugen
For BMO, this transaction increases value to our shareholders and will allow us to redeploy capital to higher-return businesses and to concentrate our attention on our goal of becoming the leading personal and commercial bank in the U.S. Midwest.
Tony Comper
Sovereign's board continues to march forward on its cynical campaign to deprive its shareholders, at their expense, of the right to vote on transformational transactions.
Ralph Whitworth
They're trying to get the best possible price for shareholders. They probably approached it in the right manner by not getting too firm with any one bidder.
James Mcbride
We are pleased that our opposition to the original merger agreement has resulted in increased consideration for all shareholders and we will vote our shares for the deal at this revised price.
Mason Morfit
We are an inappropriate target for this type of proposal given that we pay for performance. You know that we have always managed this company for the benefit of our shareholders, and our results show that commitment.
Jerry Grundhofer
The current market prices indicate that investors believe that cash flows will be reinvested in a suboptimal manner. We continue to favor content over distribution, given the greater likelihood of restructurings and large returns of capital to shareholders.
Richard Bilotti
The problem is to ensure that the bondholders, who will become shareholders, are able to express their voice. If they do not, the banks will be the ones in charge.
Marco Onado
I believe the shareholders will support reducing the dividend as part of an equality-of-sacrifice plan that can increase the value of their shares over time.
Jerome York
We invest our shareholders' money wisely, in projects that remain attractive over the long term.
Rex Tillerson
This will represent the beginning of a new era for our company, and a period of positive long-term change that we believe will benefit our customers, employees and shareholders.
Terry Lundgren
We will continue to defend the interest of our company and our shareholders. And we look forward to building on our success and servicing our growing customer base.
Susan Johnston
Europe has done well, so they are all in Europe. We believe our shareholders pay us to make investment decisions. They don't pay us to look like the index.
David Herro
It's just clear as day that this is in the best interest of our partners, customers, shareholders and employees.
Tom Siebel
The sale fits perfectly into our plans to provide the company with the liquidity that enables us to accelerate our sales and product development efforts while promoting the best interests of our customers and shareholders.
Todd Gresham
The superb quarterly results are indicative of the company's ability to deliver on its strategy of providing shareholders with superior returns through increasing gold production, strong earnings and cash flows, and the lowest cash costs in the industry.
Ian Telfer
An important signal of whether a bank has good corporate governance is whether or not (the bank) can effectively guard against related-party transaction risks with their shareholders.
Liu Mingkang
I'd say shareholders go backward. Management goes backward. Labor goes backward. What a settlement!
David Littman
Directors are supposed to act like owners. Shareholders should expect action.
Betsy Atkins
I also wish to place on record my gratitude to our shareholders and investors for the trust they have vested in us which gives us the confidence to pursue our growth-oriented investment strategy.
Rashad Janahi
These mergers are another step toward our goal of creating a simplified lineup of mutual funds and achieving expense savings for our fund shareholders.
Keith Banks
It welcomes new powers for shareholders to vote through proportionate liability for auditors, which should result in a fairer sharing of the burden between companies and their auditors.
John Cridland
This report brings to a close a difficult period for Cendant employees and shareholders alike. The investigation has identified how a group of people at CUC deliberately deceived and misled investors and business partners -- and reveals a corporate culture that encouraged this behavior.
Henry Silverman
After a thorough analysis of our options, we determined it was more advantageous for the company and our shareholders to quickly and decisively shut down the business. We will continue to honor our commitments to all of our customers, suppliers and vendor partners.
James O'neill
[The shareholders will profit from Whirlpool's purchase, but] the people who built this company ... don't get anything out of this, ... That's not right.
Tom Vilsack
Irrespective of the management board's recommendation, the decision to accept our offer lies with the shareholders. We are confident that they will consider this offer, which represents full and immediate value as attractive.
Michael Roemer
It appears to be a terrific deal for Ben & Jerry's shareholders, ... Ultimately, what the acquisition proves is that strong powerful brands are very, very strong franchises.
Jim Barrett
History shows the poison pill under normal circumstances doesn't benefit shareholders. If the corporation wants a poison pill, it's the shareholders' prerogative to decide that. Not the board of directors.
Larry Haverty
The O2 shareholders currently have a clean, simple cash deal on the table.
Chris Alliott
If concluded, we believe the merger would add significant value to shareholders.
Lorna Tilbian
It certainly raises a big red flag when Lilly is attempting to sidestep the entire issue. They ought to be upfront and honest with Minnesota and other shareholders if this is an action they are considering.
Brian Mcclung
The refusal of Warner-Lambert's board to give due consideration to the Pfizer offer, and the coercive provisions of its agreement with AHP ... effectively deny shareholders the right and opportunity to enhance their investments.
Alan G. Hevesi
That was nice. It was high time for the German insurers to start paying out more to shareholders.
Frank Schallenberger
There has been a lot of pressure from large shareholders. The market is reacting well to it...everyone is talking about consolidation (in the coal industry).
Ian Synnott
While these payments may seem eye-popping, it seems more closely aligned with the company's performance and is less likely to raise the ire of shareholders than in years past.
Patrick Mcgurn
We brought this case in the interest of our shareholders and employees.
Chris Winans
The reality of it is that private banks are not behaving from an economically rational point of view. From a shareholders point of view, there should have been an enormous amount of mergers.
Ray Soudah
Under Irish law, the Company is required to obtain the approval of its shareholders to buy back its own shares. The Board, believing it to be in the best interests of the shareholders and the Company, agreed that the Company should request this approval to provide the Company with the flexibility to buy back shares if it determines that the benefits associated with such a program can be realized.
Chuck Moran
The three top shareholders (Fidelity, Cevian and Burdaras) are very much in favor of the transaction. We are confident that the compelling logic of the transaction is coming through.
Julian Roberts
That the Carnival proposal is not as favorable financially to P&O Princess shareholders and would face greater execution risk than the transaction with Royal Caribbean.
Princess Cruises
Consistent with existing BP practice, we remain committed to returning excess free cash flow, including the net proceeds of this sale, to shareholders.
Lord Browne
That is not their job at all. Their job is to keep all shareholders fully informed and the Government is just one shareholder out of 1.6 million and no shareholder should get any information before any other shareholder.
John Curry
I think the laundry list of reforms they're proposing certainly will be appreciated by shareholders, but I think it's probably too late to affect the voting at this point.
Shirley Westcott
I continue to question whether any of these initiatives are going to be accretive to shareholders, ... I don't see the revenue opportunity anytime in the near term.
April Horace
We worked with major shareholders to address the issues to conclude this transaction.
John Gilardi
We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with FOX to bring back its news service to SIRIUS and to add what is a compelling talk channel. Our goal was to negotiate a new agreement that would be in the best interest of our subscribers and shareholders, and the new agreement fulfills that objective.
Scott Greenstein
The company's ability to designate the number of directors up for election ... disenfranchises shareholders.
Warren Lichtenstein
If the deals went to shareholders today, we believe Boston Scientific would prevail.
Mark Landy
DTCC has now cleared all the warrants that are being distributed to broker participants this week, so shareholders can begin exercising them through their brokers beginning March 6th before they expire.
Joey Difrancesco
Ameritrade has again delivered strong results, illustrated by record net revenues and excellent pre-tax margins. We would have had a record quarter if you adjusted the days to our last quarter and excluded the impact of Knight. Moving forward, we expect to continue leveraging our low-cost platform and producing superior financial returns for TD Ameritrade shareholders.
Joe Moglia
We also believe that the new site will allow management an opportunity to provide information in a more timely manner to shareholders.
Radomir Popovic
We're very interested in our directors as being as accountable as possible to our shareholders.
