Gulf Resources (NASDAQ:GURE) Announces Conference Call to Discuss Historic Decision of Aligning Shareholders’ Interests with that of Management

SHOUGUANG, China, Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gulf Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: GURE) ("Gulf Resources", "we," or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of bromine, crude salt and specialty chemical products in China, today announced a conference call to discuss the new compensation program initiated by the Company to align the interests of its Chairman and senior management with that of its shareholders.

For several years, the Company has been dissatisfied with its financial performance and with its inability to take cash from China to pay dividends and buy back shares. It has been seeking a way of attempting to align the interests of its shareholders with that of its management.

The Company has created a new compensation program, that includes:

• The Chairman and top three executives repay most or all of their cash compensation earned during the past approximately 11 ½ years.
• The Chairman and CEO receive no cash compensation.
• The COO and CFO have their cash compensation reduced by approximately 82%.
• In exchange, the top executives, but not the Chairman, would receive shares of stock.

By repaying most or all of their cash compensation for the past approximately 11 ½ years and reducing or eliminating their current cash compensation, senior management will only do well if the price of the shares of Gulf Resources does well.
