Dear Pete,
Not NPMI, but non-executive, who are entitled to their share of bonus, rental, royalty, etc.
This is one of those situations that I found that has the potential to rightfully return about 1/2 million to the right people. I presented my idea to an attorney and he liked it and signed up some of the non-executives. I will be doing the land work and he gets the fee.
I would prefer that we would be able to easily go after the operators, since they in theory have the deeper pockets and they may be named. It is just that I remember (again, I think that I remember) that it is the job of the executive to ensure that the non-executive receives his share.
If my typing and thinking is off, I am on heavy duty pain meds for my back. Some days are better than others. This has been a day with a cane and mobility scooter, along with being the primary caretaker for a very ill wife. No fun.
