For Immediate Release – TORONTO, Canada, February 29th, 2016 (TopGun Press)

Brendan Wood International is pleased to announce the 2015/2016 round-up of its real time polling of the world’s most influential shareholders. Brendan Wood International’s ‘voice of the shareholder’ performance reporting measures 1400 corporations across 11 critical metrics. A key and often pivotal metric is shareholder confidence in the CEO. The TopGun CEO designation is an expression of the highest level of confidence in a CEO by major institutional investors who own or have the ability to own the stock in sizable stakes.

“CEOs are consistently evaluated and scrutinized by investors during the investment selection or renewal process. Almost always in the top three the CEO is often the critical criterion in shareholders’ decision to own a stock or not. The CEO is the face and the voice of management accountability for execution of strategy. Leadership and clear, straightforward messaging to investors are paramount. TopGun CEOs earn their share of mind with investors through relentless work ethic, decision making and by facing challenges head-on and most importantly, their resolve to deliver for shareowners,” said Jordan Novak, Managing Director, Brendan Wood International.

The voting panel was comprised of over 500 investors and sell-side professionals, including the majority of TopGun equity investors, research analysts and sell-side sales professionals both in Canada and abroad. The panel considered some 323 potential nominees in Canada whose companies are listed on Brendan Wood International’s Shareholder Confidence Index. Less than ten percent of potential candidates, a total of 28 executives, were awarded TopGun status based on the number of votes received.

Larry Rossy, CEO at Dollarama, earned the title of TopGun CEO of the Year. “According to investors Larry Rossy and his team execute on all cylinders. He built the business from the ground up and understands that what matters is value per share, not the size of the company. He has a consistent message, sticks to the plan and is transparent. Since the IPO the execution of the strategy has been strong and he has also changed his industry significantly.” said Novak.
