BIOLASE CEO to Continue at Symbolic Annual Cash Salary of $1.00
(firmenpresse) - IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/06/13 -- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the world's leading dental laser manufacturer and distributor, announced today that Chief Executive Officer Federico Pignatelli will continue at a symbolic annual cash salary of $1.00 for the year ending December 31, 2013.
Pignatelli stated, "In my continuing effort to align management's interest with the interests of our shareholders, as it should be for every listed Company, and so for BIOLASE, the Board of Directors has accepted my offer to continue to serve as the CEO for a symbolic annual cash salary of $1.00 for 2013. To reiterate what I have said in the past, it simply makes sense to align my interest as a shareholder with that of all shareholders, the ultimate owners of BIOLASE. My goal is for BIOLASE to generate continued growth and improved financial performance. As the Chairman and CEO, I will not benefit unless our shareholders benefit. It remains my firm belief that a CEO's compensation should be tied only to the financial performance of the companies they lead and I invite others to follow my example."
As of December 31, 2012, Pignatelli owned approximately 4.8% of BIOLASE's common shares outstanding on a diluted basis, the vast majority of which he purchased in the open market over time.
