Battalle saw a recession coming. This type of raise is the only way for him to convince his good people to stay. No one buys this company because there are so many companies to work with besides FM, especially since they do not possess a drop of proprietary technology or optimization techniques to help their publishers. There's a long, cold winter coming for them. Recession, lack of M&A interest in FM specifically, discontent among customer base, discontent among employees wondering why no one wants to buy their company. This all spells trouble so grabbing a huge chunk of money is the ONLY way to shield the company from reality. FM’s business isn’t sustainable. Battalle saw a recession coming.
