Analysis · BCBP · Finance
A $1.24 million personal commitment from the top executive carries weight during a distressed recapitalization. CEO Thomas O'Brien bought 160,000 shares at $7.75 in the company's underwritten follow-on offering, a move that follows a $14.8M Q2 loss, full goodwill impairment, dividend suspension, and a guided Q3 pre-tax loss of ~$87M.
