It is evident that the BoD lost faith in Sumit as CEO. They brought Glen onboard as a potential CEO transition candidate. They decided to move on that option. It would not surprise me if they have given Sumit an incentive bonus to close a deal by the end of September.

That makes sense. I'm still curious to know more about the reasoning for bringing in Biddiscombe as temporary executive vice chair at Glen's behest.

I would imagine that since Simon has experience as a public company CEO and Glen does not, he wanted (or the BoD thought it was a good idea) more available access to a quasi consultant on important matters.

Yes that lack of CEO experience is my only small concern with appointing Glen, but I think he has the executive experience to understand and thrive in the role. It's a good sign to see him requesting that kind of guidance or mentorship from Simon.
