Brightpoint CFO leaves with $2.75M pay package

Back to TopCommentsE-mailPrint

A veteran Brightpoint Inc. executive who left the company on Tuesday received separation pay totaling $2.75 million, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Anthony Boor joined the Indianapolis-based wireless phone distributor in 1998 and had served as its chief financial officer and treasurer since October 2005.

He was paid $490,000 on Tuesday and will receive an additional $2.26 million in November, six months and one day after his departure date, the filing said.

Boor also will receive annual retirement benefits totaling $77,274.

In a Tuesday press release announcing the appointment of Boor’s successor, Brightpoint provided no reason for his departure, except to say the company had entered into a “mutual separation agreement” with him.

Last year, Boor earned $535,000 in base salary and $2.3 million overall when including stock awards and bonuses, according to the company’s latest proxy statement.

Calls to Brightpoint were not returned Wednesday morning.

Boor was replaced by Vincent Donargo, who has served as Brightpoint’s chief accounting officer and controller since 2005, the company said in a written statement.

Brightpoint reported impressive first-quarter earnings last month, posting profit of $9.3 million, or 13 cents a share, versus $1.4 million, or 2 cents a share, in the year-ago period.

The company said its earnings increased more than sixfold as the growing demand for smartphones meant that more higher-priced devices passed through its facilities.

Brightpoint shares opened trading Wednesday morning at $9.05 each, down from a 52-week high of $13.22 reached in February.

  1. Doug Henning!

  2. These guy were thugs — they grew up in freaking Haughville! Smh, sigh. If the mayor needs/wants "quality" Black Hoosiers who are NOT corrupt, give me a call — I know plenty. Land bank info here - http://www.kubepharm.com/indylandbank/IndyLandBank.html

  3. Magician and illusionist!

  4. The basic idea of nice apartments with parking and retail is a good one, but this design seems overwhelmingly big/tall for Broad Ripple. The size could be disguised a bit with lots of big trees/landscaping, but the complex is too massive to blend in easily. That section of canal between College and Westfield will also need to be upgraded on both sides. Nice apartments facing onto a nice promenade with shade trees/plantings could bring together the canal towpath/Monon recreation, the outdoor seating at existing restaurants, and this project into something that upgrades the whole area. A plan for the whole stretch makes more sense than facing nice new housing onto what looks like a ditch. Is there a plan? Does the public have input? Who pays? The apartment idea seems to be reasonable, but Whole Foods is not a good idea for appropriate retail. Besides the store being physically too big, there are already Fresh Market at 54xCollege and Whole Foods in Nora for fancy groceries. Good Earth and Kroger are within walking distance of the Shell site. There are at least 7 grocery stores within a safe bike ride. Whole Foods would add nothing but traffic congestion. This design is on the right track, but there needs to be more work done to ensure that it blends in with and enhances the existing community. A project that large will set a tone for that whole part of town. It could be a real asset, but only if done right.

  5. I did not move to Zionsville to live in Carmel. This and the subsequent developments to follow will ensure a vanilla uniformity of strip malls and apartment buildings as we seek to bring our town down to the least common denominator. We were warned before recent elections that pro-development council members would make sure their friends (landowners and developers) would be able to make their millions off of the exploitation of Zionsville. Why in God's name would we sell out the best preserved small town in the State of Indiana?
