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. Many serial killer types and psychopaths work as lowly bureaucrats, just waiting to impose their wrath on a powerless person, child, or pet. Don't forget, the BTK killer was a dog catcher.

  2. If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.

  3. John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.

  4. I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.

  5. Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.
