The most recent illustration of this phenomenon has come from Seaspan (NYSE:SSW)’s backers. Co-founder Dennis Washington issued a statement saying: “I believe strongly in the financial model of Seaspan Corporation. The Company has a very modern fleet, prestigious customers and a strong management team. The Company is well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in the future.” Then he put his money where his mouth is with the announcement of a $200 million issue of preferred equity.
The company last week announced an agreement to issue and sell Series A Preferred Stock to Dennis, Kevin and Kyle Washington and Graham Porter through respective affiliates. Dennis Washington will be investing $140 million and the others an aggregate of $60 million.
