Medifast Board Of Directors Under Investigation
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Medifast, Inc. (“Medifast” or the “Company”) (MED) concerning the improper compensation of the Company’s executives.
Medifast’s key executive compensation increased drastically from approximately $2.12 million in 2012 to approximately $12.11 million in 2013. This is an especially significant increase given the fact that key executive compensation was under $2 million for each year from 2009 to 2011. While the key executive compensation has increased dramatically, there has not been any significant increase in the Company’s stock price.
