Monitoring and Planning Sample Clauses

Monitoring and Planning. Having participated directly in or analyzing a significant portion of the recapitalizations, we strongly believe that the first year after the capitalization is a very critical period. The foundation for the long-term success or failure of the recapitalization is developed during this time. As such, we will help Federal Trust's Board by assisting in the monitoring and planning process during this crucial time frame. Throughout the first post-capitalization year, we will participate (on a quarterly basis) in Board meetings and help facilitate the monitoring and planning process, which is a basic element of the strategic planning process. One of the principal objectives will be the same as the one developed in the Strategic Alternative Financial Evaluation ("SAFE") program, to ensure that management and the Board of Directors of both the Company have been fully informed (in a timely and on a cost effective basis) as to their various strategic alternatives, and that both groups fully understand what strategies will maximize long-term shareholder value. In this process, we can cover a number of areas, including strategic alternatives (such as branching strategies), issues effecting financial institution equities, investor relations, employee/ management compensation, and others issues of interest.
