In their search for new CEO... 1) the BOD or hiring committee appears to have selected a candidate that has met the job description ..2)..he/she wants the job and has the necessary qualifications..3)the candidate is presently employed elsewhere and needs to get out of his/her contract...I don't see this as a major problem as I'm sure most contracts would have an "out clause"... It would be nice to know what timeframe has been given to the candidate...???I hope it is short ,to get this out of the way,so that we can move on..Regards..R R
