Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers
On December 23, 2016, GAMCO Investors, Inc. announced that the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has unanimously
approved a deferred compensation agreement with Mario J. Gabelli,
Chief Executive Officer of GAMCO. Mr. Gabellis variable
compensation for the period from January 1, 2017 through June 30,
2017 will be in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
determined by the volume-weighted average price of the Companys
Class A stock during such period. As a result, for the first half
of 2017, Mr. Gabelli will not be paid any cash compensation that
he is entitled to under the Employment Agreement approved by
shareholders on May 5, 2015, and consistent with Mr. Gabellis
agreement since 1977. The Board decided that deferring Mr.
Gabellis variable compensation for the first half of 2017 will
provide the Company with greater financial flexibility.
