Following is the Nomination concerning Cedar Fair at the Dix & Eaton site (as mentioned in the above post for which the link was removed):
BEST INVESTOR REVOLT The Unitholders at Cedar Fair Entertainment beat back an ill advised, abusive to investor, sell out attempt. Management messages were effectively countered, often blockaded, and the capital investors reasoning prevailed.
Referred to in the financial press as "the shareholder sidewalk revolt which has changed merger and acquisition strategy" these Investor Relations with management have had far reaching consequences.
Investor Relations with management of Cedar Fair continue at a quick pace; now a special meeting of unitholders has been called to address the deafness with which senior management interacts with the capital community.
With two new, independent board members, unitholders have been unable to satisfactory address systemic management and corporate governance issues. Now bolder, more aggressive, action must be taken.
Managements now realize Investor Relations is a conversation conducted on a two way street. It is no longer "talking at investors" but rather "talking with investors."
This accomplishment is deserving of a ROBBIE Award.
If such progress is deemed undeserving of a ROBBIE, perhaps you should rethink handing them out. It would hardly seem worthy of your effort.
