So, the bonus had nothing to do with what glennhaak claimed. And Ben SMith had announced his pay cut or forfeit of variable bonus well before.

It's one thing to say that a CEO should not get a bonus, as due for the past year results, if the company requires State aid this year. It is another to claim, as above, that the CEO earns a bonus based on the amount of State aid the CEO is able to negotiate.
