Sounds like layoffs to me. (1. That was just one example where some people were being laid off. You can find others over the last few years.) (2. I never said things like relocations / reassignments / etc. were not happening as well.) (3. People being relocated also often leave one company to join another, if the terms of relocation do not please them.) |

Ok...got one more Theory about the 8K today dealing with options ....
IF there is a deal in Progress concerning AMGEN buying MNKD (closing in July) then Mike C. would have known about it for a long time...
If this was the case, he would NOT be allowed to buy shares of MNKD due to Insider trading laws ..... (wait for it)
He would not be allowed to cash in on this HUGE deal despite his hard work and dedication.
SOLUTION: Make Mike C CEO of MNKD for the last few months and give him stock options 200,000 to 300,000 (Per the 8K today..they just did that)
But what do I know?

I'm no expert on takeovers / buyouts / securities laws, but how on earth can a deal get to that stage without the companies involved disclosing to their shareholders? |

I predicted the CEO/Options theory the day Mike was made CEO ...
it happened today ...I could be wrong but I could be right as well.
Who can give me a good reason why a Head of Marketing get promoted to CEO in 14 months when other members of the company have been at
MNKD for years....

Mike got the options and pay rise because he became CEO. People tend to get options and salary raises when promoted - happens a lot. Your idea is fantasy. They would have had to file an 8K and a DEF14A by now for you to be right. Why Mike? Because he is the one best suited to taking on the role. Promotion is based on ability and not tenure. |

Mike directly acquired 50,000 shares at $0.93 on 5/17/2016. Did we forget about this or is there a theory to this also? investors.mannkindcorp.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1209191-16-121086&CIK=899460 |

Who can give me a good reason why a Head of Marketing get promoted to CEO in 14 months when other members of the company have been at MNKD for years.... Because no one else at MannKind had any idea whatsoever of what was required to commercialize Afrezza and that's why today's 8K was filed. No other reason in my view. It was bad enough that the Executive Managment team in place since 2002 botched the drug development plan from the get-go because no one in Sr. Management or on the BOD had any freaking idea what Mr. Mann had embarked upon. Zero knowledge of drug and device development in tandem. Zero. I am still mortified to this day that Kent Kress is Chairman of the Board. When Kent was a Board Member and Al was Board Chairman, Kent did not speak up and serve as an important voice to Al so to ensure he was not led astray by then CEO Hakan Edstrom. Hakan had zero understanding of what Mr. Mann had embarked upon so how could he have been the right candidate for this important job? He simply was not and being a nice guy means zero to Wall Street. In the end, this CEO spelled the disaster we are living today as long term investors. Ask yourself why a euglycemic clamp study was necessary (which was just published this month) if those in the medical department up through the Sanofi partnership had any freaking idea of what they were doing? Sanofi saw it was needed so why not those highly paid executives? There's your answer. Kent Kressa and those who remain active on this board with the exception of a few newer installments were not experienced and were not sufficiently engaged because if they had been, Hakan should have been gone in 2007. That's when Al should have hired someone like a Wayne Desisto. Today, only Joe Kocinsky and David Thompson remain in executive management. The rest of the inept band of characters are history. Gone. I for one believe Mike deserves whatever options he gets because he alone has made an enormous difference to the future of Afrezza. Of that you can be sure. Does this signal a buy out? I don't think so but I don't inhabit the realm of the new MannKind executive-sphere but that said, a letter I wrote to the BOD spells out very clearly what my expectations are if a buyout is even remotely being considered at this point in time. It's on the record so any recourse will be mine to take if its content is ignored a la Kent Kressa style. |

There is not an 8K filed today. www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=MannKind&match=contains&action=getcompanyKent Kresa has been known to be "Stealth CEO" when he worked for Northrop and GM. He gets things done,. Who do you reckon orchastrated the MannKind Transformation? It wasn't Matt. It wasn't MC. It was Kent Kresa. Not sure how you were able to write that much of a rant based off a fictitious Form 8K. Amazing. |
