Good stuff - wonder if the BoD could/would fire Phil for cause if he didn't conform to the most valuable deal for shareholders whether his principles led him to this or not. It would appear a compromise was made whereby he "retires". Only question is whether the RDS deal can be made while he is on seat or if it must wait until May1. If I were Phil, I'd want to say i got the deal done...i.e. before April 30...but since the SoB's tried to steal it from me..i took their money and "retired"...on to the next thing.
I also have a tough time seeing the difference between "immediate" and 8 days...there is undoubtedly a time pressure on this that must be linked to getting a deal signed ASAP.
