EDS will pay WorldCom $187 mln to settle-WSJ
Monday December 16, 1:50 am ET
NEW YORK, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Computer-services company Electronic Data Systems Corp will pay WorldCom Inc. (Other OTC:WCOEQ.PK - News) $187 million under terms of a proposed agreement filed on Friday with the court overseeing WorldCom`s Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
ADVERTISEMENT
The agreement would settle long-running billing disputes and amend terms of an 11-year outsourcing contract signed in 1999. Payments to WorldCom would be spread over the next year, with the bulk due within four months, the article said.
EDS would keep its existing business with WorldCom through the next two years and receive lower rates than specified in the original agreement, according to the proposed deal, the article said.
The agreement settles a lengthy dispute over minimum purchases of network services by EDS. EDS`s financial results have been hurt by the ailing long-distance company.
An official at EDS was not immediately available to comment.

es kann los gehen
heute werden wir wieder steigen
HEUTE wird es spannend: Noch kann Giuliani kommen !
12/16/2002 05:00PM 02-13533 WORLDCOM, INC., ET AL., Hearing Re: debtors` motion authorizing the employment
of Michael D. Capellas as Chief Executive Officer,
President and Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the debtors.
1. Das Gericht kann den Plan für Capellas ablehnen.
2. Noch ist er technisch nicht auf der Lohn- und Gehaltsliste.
3. David Matlin hat angeblich betätigt, den ehemaligen New Yorker Bürgermeister zu wollen.
4. Capellas hat nicht direkt beantwortet, als er gefragt wurde, ob er für Giuliani beiseite treten würde.
5. Er erhielt viel Geld, um HP zu verlassen und er hat nichts zu verlieren.
6. Wenn der Plan nicht anerkannt wird, kann er das Abkommen aufheben und sonst irgendwo hingehen.
Das wird heute zu 100% eine politische Sache, Giuliani könnte kommen, Worldcom aus Chapter11 mit Glanz und Gloria bringen um dann Präsident zu werden, weil alle dankbar sind. Bessere Chancen für einen Wahlkampf kann es gar nicht geben - 11. September und Worldcom. Die Aussagen zu Capellas in dem Text lesen sich, als sei es gar nicht so schlimm wenn er den Vorvertrag aufhebt.
Judges May Reject Pay Plan for Capellas
JACKSON, Miss., Dec 13, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- WorldCom Inc.`s new CEO and chairman, Michael D. Capellas, made a number of concessions to get the job, including forgoing retirement benefits or a guaranteed stock option grant and agreeing WorldCom could replace him as chairman at any time.
Even so, executive compensation and corporate governance experts say they expect Capellas` pay package will be deemed excessive by U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Gonzalez when they review the plan Monday.
Capellas, who quit as president of Hewlett-Packard Co. in early November, started work at WorldCom on Dec. 2. But technically he`s not on the payroll yet. And the tentative deal he hammered out with WorldCom and its creditors` committee - worth an average of $12 million a year in salary, bonuses and stock options, and another $18 million of restricted stock upon WorldCom`s emergence from bankruptcy - is threatening to unravel.
Rakoff - who last month approved a partial settlement of the Securities and Exchange Commission`s fraud case against WorldCom over its $9 billion accounting fraud - said bankruptcy court-appointed monitor Richard Breeden found some of Capellas` pay package "grossly excessive."
So does Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, associate dean at Yale University School of Management and head of its Chief Executive Leadership Institute. Sonnenfeld predicts the judges will decide Capellas, whose HP compensation package was valued at more than $16 million, would nonetheless be overpaid by WorldCom.
"It`s excessive given his experience level, and a company in bankruptcy doesn`t need to be paying this kind of money," Sonnenfeld said. "I would be surprised if the court didn`t recommend that the package be cut back. Rakoff is a very sensible judge."
Capellas, who was chairman and CEO of Compaq Computer Corp. until HP acquired it in May, walked away from HP with $14.5 million in severance and a $1.6 million loan forgiven.
Executive compensation experts say the biggest concessions Capellas made to take the WorldCom job were forgoing retirement benefits, dropping a demand for initial stock option grants of at least $8 million after WorldCom`s reorganization and agreeing that a non-executive chairman could replace him without having cause to quit.
WorldCom bondholder David Matlin has reportedly pressed to have former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani become chairman. Giuliani has been publicly coy about the possibility, saying only that his consulting firm is advising Matlin on WorldCom`s corporate affairs. Capellas has not answered directly when asked if he would step aside for Giuliani.
"But he`s smart not to make an issue of these," said Brian Foley, a White Plains, N.Y., executive compensation consultant. "He got plenty of money to leave HP and he`s got nothing to lose. For a couple of weeks he`s sitting there kicking the tires until the court approves it. If it`s not approved, he can just pick up and go somewhere else."

Wie das Wall Street Journal am Montag berichtet, wird der Computerdienstleister Electronic Data Systems Corp. (EDS) der bankrotten WorldCom Inc. im Rahmen einer Einigung 187 Mio. Dollar zahlen.
Der Zeitung zufolge einigt man sich damit in einem langjährigen Streit über Rechnungen und ändert die Modalitäten eines Outsourcing-Vertrags über elf Jahre, der in 1999 geschlossen wurde. Die Zahlungen erfolgen im Laufe des nächsten Jahres, wobei ein Großteil innerhalb der nächsten vier Monate geleistet wird.
EDS wird demnach sein bestehendes Geschäftsverhältnis mit der Telefongesellschaft über die nächsten zwei Jahre aufrecht erhalten und niedrigere Preise zahlen als im ursprünglichen Abkommen vereinbart.

WorldCom Revised Pay Package for Capellas Is Approved
By David Glovin
New York, Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- WorldCom Inc.`s revised $50 million pay package for new Chief Executive Officer Michael Capellas was approved by two federal judges after the bankrupt long-distance telephone company agreed to tie more of his compensation to performance.
As part of the agreement, Richard Breeden, appointed by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff to oversee WorldCom through its bankruptcy, required Capellas to pledge to cooperate with investigations, prevent violations of the law and uphold a code of ethics. Breeden dictates whether Capellas, who is guaranteed $20 million over three years, receives bonuses and stock awards.
``There is much to be done, and I am anxious to get to work,`` Capellas, who was in the courtroom for the hearing, told Rakoff. Capellas also said he will outline a 100-day plan in for the company January. The judge approved the revised compensation after criticizing an initial agreement proposed last week. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Gonzalez also consented.
WorldCom filed in July for the largest U.S. bankruptcy with $30 billion in debt. The company has admitted to more than $9 billion in accounting misstatements. Rakoff and Breeden initially balked at Capellas`s agreement because it didn`t set enough hurdles for the new CEO to surmount. The settlement of his pay clears the way for Capellas to begin rebuilding the company.
At a minimum, Capellas will receive $8 million in a signing bonus, salary, another guaranteed bonus and $12 million of restricted stock over three years. If he meets targets, that pay could rise to $50 million.
Breeden urged the judges to approve the package, as did the Securities and Exchange Commission, which settled its civil fraud case against WorldCom on Nov. 26. Rakoff, who endorsed the SEC agreement, has reserved his decision on whether to impose fines on WorldCom. Breeden also required Capellas to sign a pledge that he will cooperate fully with investigations of the company and prevent violations of the law.
Positive Strides
Capellas has ``evidenced that he recognizes and welcomes the challenge here presented,`` Rakoff said. Clinton, Mississippi- based WorldCom has made positive strides that Rakoff said he will consider when he makes a decision regarding fines next year.
The judge last week criticized the initial compensation agreement as ``potentially problematic`` and demanded WorldCom work with Breeden to resolve his ``serious concerns.`` The No. 2 long-distance provider and Capellas agreed to delay some bonuses and make them conditional on meeting targets.
Today, the judge said CEO pay has become ``quite startling in magnitude`` over the past decade, though he called the revised compensation package WorldCom offered Capellas ``eminently reasonable.``
The pact is ``a critical step in the healing process of this company,`` Breeden told Rakoff, describing it as a ``pay-for- performance`` agreement.
100-Day Plan
Speaking to reporters after the hearing, Capellas said WorldCom would issue his plan in January, outlining specific goals and timetables for the company. He said he wants new members on WorldCom`s board of directors, new management, and new accounting principles.
Capellas has made a commitment to truthfulness, transparency, and integrity at WorldCom, Breeden told Rakoff. ``I don`t believe any CEO in America has been asked to sign commitments of this kind, or agreed to sign commitments of this kind.``
Breeden said after the hearing that he met repeatedly with Capellas in recent weeks to ensure that WorldCom`s new CEO agreed with his goals for the company. He said he hoped Capellas`s employment agreement would serve as a model for other companies.
Capellas said he would sign the pact tonight.
Signing Bonus
As initially agreed, Capellas will receive a $2 million signing bonus. In 2003, he will be paid $1.5 million in salary and a guaranteed $1.5 million bonus, according to documents filed with the court. Should WorldCom emerge from bankruptcy next year, the 48-year old former president of Hewlett-Packard Co. will also be eligible for an equity award each year of as much as $6 million, also at Breeden`s discretion, bringing his potential remuneration for 2003 to as much as $9 million.
In 2004 and 2005, the CEO`s salary remains the same and his bonus of up to $1.5 million will be dependent upon his meeting four criteria, judged by WorldCom`s board and approved by Breeden.
Capellas must meet profit levels, steer WorldCom out of bankruptcy while ``implementing a revised business model to sharply reduce operating costs and generate sustainable levels of profitability,`` implement revised corporate governance standards with Breeden, and retain customers and revenue while developing new business.
Restricted Stock
A planned $18 million in restricted stock awards to Capellas will be split, with an initial grant of $12 million, and the remaining $6 million to be given only after the company emerges from bankruptcy. The WorldCom board and Breeden also must agree that Capellas has met certain performance goals.
Capellas must hold 75 percent of the restricted shares until six months after he has left the company.
WorldCom`s board of directors will determine how many, if any, stock options Capellas receives.

WorldCom CEO`s Pay Package Approved
Judges Clear $20 Million Plan After Capellas Accepts Change
By Christopher Stern
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, December 17, 2002; Page E01
NEW YORK, Dec. 16 -- Two federal judges today approved an employment contract that guarantees incoming WorldCom Inc. chief executive Michael D. Capellas $20 million over three years and includes an unusual incentive provision that ties his future bonuses to the ethical standards of the scandal-plagued firm.
The actions end weeks of uncertainty for Capellas, who began work at WorldCom on Dec. 2 but could not officially assume his roles as chairman, chief executive and president until his compensation package was approved by U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff and Bankruptcy Court Judge Arthur Gonzalez.
Rakoff, who is presiding over the Securities and Exchange Commission`s fraud case against WorldCom, objected to an earlier version of the pay proposal last week, saying it was so excessive that it raised questions about the telecommunications firm`s commitment to reform.
But today Rakoff enthusiastically approved the deal after Capellas agreed to reduce an $18 million grant of restricted stock to $12 million and to tie future bonuses to his ability to instill new corporate ethics at the company.
Capellas, the former chief executive of Compaq Computer Corp., will have the opportunity to earn the trimmed $6 million back in the form of a performance bonus, which would need the approval of the board of directors and Richard C. Breeden, the monitor appointed by Rakoff to oversee WorldCom`s business practices.
Capellas will earn $1.5 million annually with a guaranteed bonus of $1.5 million for 2003, under the new deal. After 2003, Capellas will be eligible for a $1.5 million bonus based on his performance. The company also agreed to pay his moving expenses and give him the use of the corporate jet for work-related purposes.
In an unusual twist orchestrated by Breeden during the past week, Capellas agreed to link his bonuses to the accuracy of the company`s financial statements and to the company`s adherence to its own code of ethics.
"These professional standards are expected to be serious, they are not a high-jump hurdle set six inches off the ground," Breeden said at today`s hearing in Rakoff`s New York courtroom.
Capellas told the court he enthusiastically supported the agreement, which he hopes will mark a turning point for a company that has improperly accounted for about $9 billion.
WorldCom`s bankruptcy attorney, Marcia L. Goldstein, submitted a study showing that Capellas`s compensation would rank in the bottom third of similar-size telecommunications companies. But Rakoff made it clear that even at its reduced level he thought Capellas`s compensation would be high.
"I`ve never had a case involving a baseball free agent, but now I know what it feels like," Rakoff said from the bench.
Rakoff suggested that CEOs are generally overpaid, noting that their average compensation has increased 571 percent between 1990 and 2000, a period in which the average American worker`s pay rose 50 percent. The judge attributed the disproportionate pay increase for CEOs to the "internecine relationships between top executives and their boards of directors that became relevant during the last 10 years," adding: "Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the case of WorldCom."
Rakoff pointed out that at a time when WorldCom was laying off 6,000 employees its board approved a $10 million bonus for its founder and former chief executive, Bernard J. Ebbers. Ebbers was later forced to resign in April amid controversy over the company`s decision to lend him $408.2 million.
In October, under pressure from Breeden, Stiles A. Kellett Jr., the director who played a critical role in approving the loans, also resigned from the company`s board.
Now that Capellas has officially taken his new role, the six board members who were with the firm when the improper accounting took place are expected to resign. Among them are former WorldCom chairman Bert C. Roberts and former chief executive John W. Sidgmore. Capellas assumed both their duties today.
Earlier this month, former director Judith Areen stepped down, saying she wanted to make room for Capellas to bring in his own board. In her resignation letter, Areen encouraged other board members to follow her lead, but so far none have left.
Sidgmore, a top company executive, has hinted that he will step down from the board if asked by Capellas.
Capellas declined to comment. But a source close to the company said the resignations are expected within a few weeks.
Despite the company`s tainted past, Rakoff used his closing comments to praise the company`s current directors, noting that the board has taken steps to correct the problems at the company, including hiring Capellas and cooperating with the SEC and other investigations.
"No company with this kind of history has started so well toward turning itself on a more positive path and that has to be recognized, too," Rakoff said.
Worldcom wird auch die erste Firma sein, die mit den alten Aktien Chapter11 verlässt und es deutet sehr vieles darauf hin.

WorldCom CEO`s Pay Package Approved
Judges Clear $20 Million Plan After Capellas Accepts Change
By Christopher Stern
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, December 17, 2002; Page E01
NEW YORK, Dec. 16 -- Two federal judges today approved an employment contract that guarantees incoming WorldCom Inc. chief executive Michael D. Capellas $20 million over three years and includes an unusual incentive provision that ties his future bonuses to the ethical standards of the scandal-plagued firm.
The actions end weeks of uncertainty for Capellas, who began work at WorldCom on Dec. 2 but could not officially assume his roles as chairman, chief executive and president until his compensation package was approved by U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff and Bankruptcy Court Judge Arthur Gonzalez.
Rakoff, who is presiding over the Securities and Exchange Commission`s fraud case against WorldCom, objected to an earlier version of the pay proposal last week, saying it was so excessive that it raised questions about the telecommunications firm`s commitment to reform.
But today Rakoff enthusiastically approved the deal after Capellas agreed to reduce an $18 million grant of restricted stock to $12 million and to tie future bonuses to his ability to instill new corporate ethics at the company.
Capellas, the former chief executive of Compaq Computer Corp., will have the opportunity to earn the trimmed $6 million back in the form of a performance bonus, which would need the approval of the board of directors and Richard C. Breeden, the monitor appointed by Rakoff to oversee WorldCom`s business practices.
Capellas will earn $1.5 million annually with a guaranteed bonus of $1.5 million for 2003, under the new deal. After 2003, Capellas will be eligible for a $1.5 million bonus based on his performance. The company also agreed to pay his moving expenses and give him the use of the corporate jet for work-related purposes.
In an unusual twist orchestrated by Breeden during the past week, Capellas agreed to link his bonuses to the accuracy of the company`s financial statements and to the company`s adherence to its own code of ethics.
"These professional standards are expected to be serious, they are not a high-jump hurdle set six inches off the ground," Breeden said at today`s hearing in Rakoff`s New York courtroom.
Capellas told the court he enthusiastically supported the agreement, which he hopes will mark a turning point for a company that has improperly accounted for about $9 billion.

Most of WorldCom board resigns
Tuesday December 17, 12:09 pm ET
CLINTON, Miss., Dec 17 (Reuters) - WorldCom Inc. (Other OTC:WCOEQ.PK - News) said on Tuesday that six board members who oversaw the company in the years it racked up more than $9 billion in accounting problems that led to its bankruptcy have resigned, leaving only recent appointees.
The resignation of six members follows the departure last week of another member, and leaves only three directors who were appointed in recent months as WorldCom tried to bolster its financial expertise and regain the trust of Wall Street and employees amid accounting scandals and federal investigations.
Michael Capellas, WorldCom`s new chairman and chief executive, has said he would move quickly to replace the board and add to the financial team. Several of WorldCom`s board members had close business and personal ties to former Chief Executive Bernie Ebbers, and were criticized for granting him $408 million in loans and a lucrative severance package.
Departing board members are Carl Aycock, Max Bobbitt, Franceso Galesi, Gordon Macklin, Bert Roberts and John Sidgmore. Judith Areen resigned from the board last week.
The remaining board members are Nicholas Katzenbach, former U.S. Attorney General, Dennis Beresford, former chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and C.B. Rogers, former chairman and CEO of Equifax.
Rudolph Giuliani wird sicher dabei sein.

WorldCom board resigns en masse
Members who failed to spot fraud all depart
By Jeffry Bartash, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 2:25 PM ET Dec. 17, 2002
CLINTON, Miss. (CBS.MW) -- The WorldCom board members who failed to detect massive fraud at the phone giant resigned together on Tuesday, helping new Chief Executive Michael Capellas solidify his grip on the bankrupt company as it plots its reorganization.
All together, six members, a majority of the board, tendered their resignations. They are Carl J. Aycock, Max E. Bobbitt, Franceso Galesi, Gordon S. Macklin, Bert C. Roberts, Jr. and John W. Sidgmore.
Board member Judith Areen resigned last week.
On Monday, the bankruptcy court approved a pay package under which Capellas, the former CEO of Compaq, could received $20 million in three years if the company performs well.
"With the courts` approval yesterday of Michael Capellas as WorldCom`s new chairman and CEO, it is now appropriate for each of us to stand down as directors and give him the opportunity to continue the process we have started to put in place substantive reforms and best governance practices," board members said in a joint statement.
Until Capellas was hired last month, Sidgmore was acting CEO. Roberts, the executive who sold MCI to WorldCom in 1998, had been chairman.
Aycock had been a board member since 1983 and was one of the earliest investors in LDDS, the company that later became WorldCom.
Bobbitt, a telecom executive who joined the board in 1992, headed the audit committee. Galesi, an entrepeneur, also joined the board in 1992.
Macklin came aboard in 1998 and was a former chairman of the high-tech banking firm of Hambrecht & Quist. Areen arrived at the same time as Macklin and is dean of the law center at Georgetown University.
In October, another longtime board member, Stiles Kellet Jr., also resigned. He along with former CEO Bernard Ebbers was one of the company`s original founders.
The only board members who remain are the newly appointed ones -- Nicholas Katzenbach, a former prosecutor; Dennis Beresford, ex-chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and C.B. Rogers, Jr., former chairman and CEO of Equifax.
In June, WorldCom (WCOEQ: news, chart, profile) disclosed concealing nearly $4 billion in expenses during part of 2002 and all of 2001 -- a revelation that promptly plunged the No. 2 U.S. long-distance carrier into bankruptcy.
The ruse allowed WorldCom to post profits instead of actual losses during that period. Further investigation revealed that former executives started hiding expenses and artificially inflating revenue at least as far back as 1999.
So far, more than $9 billion in accounting errors have been discovered. Several senior executives have been arrested, although Bernard Ebbers has not been charged.

6 Resign From WorldCom Board
Ex-CEO Sidgmore Among Departees
By Christopher Stern
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, December 18, 2002; Page E04
Six longtime WorldCom Inc. directors resigned yesterday, clearing the way for the company`s new chairman to replace them with board members untainted by the $9 billion accounting scandal that has ravaged the telecommunications firm for the past six months.
The resignations took place less than 24 hours after Michael D. Capellas received the approval of two federal judges to take over as chairman, chief executive and president and begin the process of restoring the company`s credibility with customers and investors.
One of the judges is overseeing WorldCom`s bankruptcy filing, and the other is handling the Securities and Exchange Commission`s fraud case against the company.
"With the courts` approval yesterday of Michael Capellas as WorldCom`s new chairman and CEO, it is now appropriate for each of us to stand down as directors and give him the opportunity to continue the process we have started to put in place substantive reforms and best governance practices," the departing directors said in a joint statement yesterday.
Former chief executive John W. Sidgmore and former chairman Bert C. Roberts Jr. not only agreed to leave the board yesterday but also have resigned from WorldCom. Sources close to the company said the two men were not given severance packages as a condition of their resignation and have no paid consulting contracts or other formal agreements with the company. Roberts is still qualified to receive his pension from the company, according to a company spokesman.
The other board members who handed in their resignations yesterday were Carl J. Aycock, Max E. Bobbitt, Francesco Galesi and Gordon S. Macklin.
The board members are following Judith C. Areen, another former board member, who stepped down last week. In relinquishing her seat, Areen also said that she wanted to make room for a new board. In October a seventh board member, Stiles A. Kellett Jr., resigned under pressure after it was disclosed that he leased a corporate jet from WorldCom at below-market rates. Kellet, who headed the board`s compensation committee, also played a leading role in approving $408.2 million in company loans to WorldCom`s founder and former chief executive, Bernard J. Ebbers. Ebbers resigned under pressure in April after the scope of the loans was disclosed.
In addition to Capellas, the three remaining board members are Nicholas deB. Katzenbach, a former U.S. attorney general; Dennis Beresford, a former chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and C.B. Rogers Jr., a former chairman and chief executive of Equifax Inc.None of the remaining board members were associated with the company during the three-year period when the improper accounting took place.
Davenport & Co. analyst F. Drake Johnstone said Capellas should now take a close look at executives who were with the company between 1999 and the early part of this year when the alleged fraud took place. "Clearing out the old board is definitely a good start, but Capellas certainly has his hands full in clearing out old management," Johnstone said.
Four former WorldCom executives have pleaded guilty to fraud charges involving the company. Former chief financial officer Scott D. Sullivan is also charged with fraud but has pleaded not guilty. Ebbers, who resigned as chief executive in April, has not been charged, although he continues to be a subject of federal criminal and civil investigations.
Sources say that Capellas will spend the next several weeks reviewing possible candidates for WorldCom`s reconstituted board. Under an agreement filed with the federal court overseeing the SEC`s fraud case against WorldCom, Capellas pledged that there would be no other employees on the company`s board.
Es wird nun ab heute die Gerüchteküche brodeln wen er nun an Bord holen wird. Ich denke, dass dieser Deal längst klar war und Capellas auch schon seine Leute hat mit denen er zusammenarbeiten möchte und die er für fähig hält.
Der Monatsbericht für Oktober steht auch noch aus, habe gedacht, dass er gestern kommt.

"With the courts` approval yesterday of Michael Capellas as WorldCom`s new chairman and CEO, it is now appropriate for each of us to stand down as directors and give him the opportunity to continue the process we have started to put in place substantive reforms and best governance practices," the departing directors said in a joint statement yesterday.
Former chief executive John W. Sidgmore and former chairman Bert C. Roberts Jr. not only agreed to leave the board yesterday but also have resigned from WorldCom. Sources close to the company said the two men were not given severance packages as a condition of their resignation and have no paid consulting contracts or other formal agreements with the company. Roberts is still qualified to receive his pension from the company, according to a company spokesman.
The other board members who handed in their resignations yesterday were Carl J. Aycock, Max E. Bobbitt, Francesco Galesi and Gordon S. Macklin.
The board members are following Judith C. Areen, another former board member, who stepped down last week. In relinquishing her seat, Areen also said that she wanted to make room for a new board. In October a seventh board member, Stiles A. Kellett Jr., resigned under pressure after it was disclosed that he leased a corporate jet from WorldCom at below-market rates. Kellet, who headed the board`s compensation committee, also played a leading role in approving $408.2 million in company loans to WorldCom`s founder and former chief executive, Bernard J. Ebbers. Ebbers resigned under pressure in April after the scope of the loans was disclosed.
In addition to Capellas, the three remaining board members are Nicholas deB. Katzenbach, a former U.S. attorney general; Dennis Beresford, a former chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and C.B. Rogers Jr., a former chairman and chief executive of Equifax Inc.None of the remaining board members were associated with the company during the three-year period when the improper accounting took place.
Davenport & Co. analyst F. Drake Johnstone said Capellas should now take a close look at executives who were with the company between 1999 and the early part of this year when the alleged fraud took place. "Clearing out the old board is definitely a good start, but Capellas certainly has his hands full in clearing out old management," Johnstone said.
Four former WorldCom executives have pleaded guilty to fraud charges involving the company. Former chief financial officer Scott D. Sullivan is also charged with fraud but has pleaded not guilty. Ebbers, who resigned as chief executive in April, has not been charged, although he continues to be a subject of federal criminal and civil investigations.
Sources say that Capellas will spend the next several weeks reviewing possible candidates for WorldCom`s reconstituted board. Under an agreement filed with the federal court overseeing the SEC`s fraud case against WorldCom, Capellas pledged that there would be no other employees on the company`s board.
Es wird nun ab heute die Gerüchteküche brodeln wen er nun an Bord holen wird. Ich denke, dass dieser Deal längst klar war und Capellas auch schon seine Leute hat mit denen er zusammenarbeiten möchte und die er für fähig hält.
Der Monatsbericht für Oktober steht auch noch aus, habe gedacht, dass er gestern kommt.
Today a White Candlestick formed. Buyers were in control but the buying pressure was not very strong. Die Weissen sorgen immer für steigende Kurse.

+++ Sechs Mitglieder des Aufsichtsrats der insolventen Telekommunikationskonzerns WorldCom (881477) traten heute zurück und machen den Weg für den neuen Chef Michael Capellas, dem Ex-Chef von Compaq frei. Sein Amtsantritt steht allerding unter keinem guten Stern. Er tat sich bisher durch eine Eigenschaft hervor, die bereits Ex-WorldCom-Chef Bernie Ebbers auszeichnete: Geldgier. In den nächsten 3 Jahren kann er bis zu 20 Mio Dollar einstreichen, wenn sich die Geschäfte bei WorldCom positiv entwickeln. Im ersten Jahr wird er etwa 5 Mio Dollar in seiner Lohntüte vorfinden. Ursprünglich war ein 50 Mio. Dollar-Paket für Capellas geschnürt worden. Die WorldCom-Aktie konnte sich um 9,29 % erholen, nachbörslich um weitere 2,50 % auf 0,21 Dollar.
