EF Hutton CEO Buys 2 Million HUTN Shares

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, May 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The CEO of EF Hutton (OTC: HUTN) has purchased 2,000,000 shares of EF Hutton, exercising a right under his employment agreement.  The shares were purchased for $0.50 per share. 

Christopher Daniels, the company's CEO said "I believe in the company's future and cannot think of a better way to show that than to risk my own personal capital to buy a significant number of shares."

Unlike many CEOs who win even if shareholder's don't, compensation under Mr. Daniels employment contract is geared to performance and to alignment with shareholder interests.  His base salary is just one dollar per year and any bonuses and stock options are contingent upon performance.

Mr. Daniels purchased the shares directly from the company in a private transaction.  The shares were issued under an exemption from registration under Reg D of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended.  The shares carry a legend and, unless registered, they cannot be sold for at least one-year, except pursuant to an applicable exemption.  In return for the unregistered shares, the company received a balloon note that matures in five years at an effective fixed rate of 4.31%.
