Shareholders overwhelmingly voted to keep David Baazov as CEO of Amaya. If Amaya’s shareholders are concerned about the company’s direction, they certainly didn’t show it at their annual meeting. On Monday, the votes came in strong, with the shareholders saying that he had been the architect of a “great year” for the firm.
In total, 96 percent of the shareholder vote was behind keeping Baazov in his position and reelecting the current board of directors.
The year was a memorable one for Baazov, as he orchestrated the $4.9 billion acquisition of PokerStars last summer, a move that transformed the company into one of the world’s largest online gambling brands.
