Very good news for a change.

That does sound good. Favorite quote - "This is a great American brand that sort of lost its way."

Indeed, like so many of them. I would really, truly, like to see a re-vamped "no nonsense" Gibson...both their employees and their customer base deserve better than what was bestowed upon them for quite some time...

Yesterday the article wrote that Henry J would still be an advisor for Gibson.
But apparently Bloomberg rewrote the article. That passage is gone.
Now it just reads:

I'm betting that their total responsibilities under that consulting agreement are to keep their mouths shut.

Interesting bit about prohibiting negative comments. Makes you wonder what they may have been saying in the bankruptcy proceedings.

Henry has been CEO in name only since the Chapter 11 was filed. That's typical in these situations. He had no power to do anything besides continue current operations.

I'm guessing that the gist of the consulting agreements is that they'll be consulted if new management has a question. Otherwise, they're done. The original filing gave them the right to purchase 2.25% equity each in the new company after a period of time, that may still be true.
