Thorsten Heins, chief executive of BlackBerry has 55.6 million reasons to not have to worry much about a potential acquisition of the company, or even be fired for potential new owners of BlackBerry

It was necessary to reach 2013, launching a new generation of its operating system and also two smartphones – which in some markets managed to outperform competitors including Android weight – so that the uncertainty about the future of BlackBerry even more intense. In fact, for more than the Canadian giant has attempted to reverse its poor market situation, the results turned out to be the exact opposite of their expectations.

But there are those who definitely do not go to waste in the midst of so much uncertainty: the chief executive of BlackBerry, Thorsten Heins. According to the information put forward by Bloomberg, the fact that the continuity in the company may be affected by a potential acquisition could benefit you in 55.6 million dollars.

According to a plan approved by the company and its investors, Heins is entitled to receive 55.6 million dollars if away from their current position for new owners of BlackBerry. The figures relate to salaries, incentives and other perks of the current CEO.

This information came at a time when the company’s future is far from assured, and the possibility of being sold are placed on the table – a possibility that has raised the value of its shares by 19%.

In other words, Heins seems to have 55.6 million reasons to want to sell the company, especially if you look at his failure in key markets like the U.S., where the company has been losing market share to rivals like Windows Phone. Sell ??the BlackBerry, however, may be far from an easy task to accomplish: the company has encountered numerous difficulties in attracting potential buyers (although Lenovo has expressed interested), even though owning a patent portfolio valued at values ??greater than 5 billion dollars.
