Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I was surprised with a previous question “What would you recommend if Mr Goodman steps down? Hold? Sell?”
My impression is that he has no intention and there is no indication that he will “step down.” Am I missing something?
From what I have read it also appears that it is unlikely that Medison will succeed in forcing him to step down.
Attached a recent article in the globe. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-knight-therapeutics-ceo-addresses-dissident-shareholders-proxy-fight/
In your opinion do you agree that Goodman will stay in control and get shareholder’s support?
Thanks
John

Q: In respect to Paul's question, non-eligible dividends are not taxed the same as interest income. As an example, for 2019 the top Ontario tax rate on interest income is 53.53% whereas the top Ontario tax rate on non-eligible dividends is 47.40%. By comparison the top Ontario tax rate on eligible dividends is 39.34%. I'm not aware of why A&W pays out eligible versus non-eligible dividends. TaxTips.ca has a good site for those that want to review tax rates on dividends, interest, etc. at different levels of personal income.
