Norwegian gave Schram and Karlsen share bonuses the day before they could legally do so according to the loan agreement with the Norwegian government. Then they physically paid out a 11 million retention bonus to Schram after he was sacked and out the door. And then their lawyers had the nerve to say that since Norwegian applied for reconstruction in December all legal agreements where off including the no bonuses one. The only contract agreement previous to the December reconstruction start that was seemingly to be followed was Schram's "getting the sack" bonus of 2 years pay = another 14 million Nkr.
This is what you get when shareholders loose all control and management install a week board and an even weaker chairman of it. Luckily he is sent packing to. And neither management nor board told no interested parties of any of these bonuses, including the 2 reconstruction adminstrators, government, old creditors or new shareholders. They where hoping to keep it a secret until it had to be disclosed in the annual results sometime next year.
