CALLAWAY SETTLES WITH SCHMIDT OVER CLUB DEVELOPMENT SUIT
Published September 16, 1997
Callaway Golf named GLENN SCHMIDT Assistant to the
President for Creative Design. Schmidt served as VP/Research
& Development for Callaway from '90-'95. Callaway and
Schmidt also "reached a settlement of all former disputes
and disagreements" between the two. The settlement restored
the value of Glenn's unvested stock options which he lost
and he also receives a "one time" payment of $12M. Schmidt
was granted options on 600,000 shares of the company common
stock (Callaway). Schmidt had claimed that he "introduced
Callaway to the concept of large metal woods" and other
technology and was to go to trial October 20 after charging
Callaway "with unjust enrichment, breach of contract,
intentional misrepresentation, fraud and deceit and wrong
termination, among other things" (UNION-TRIBUNE, 9/13).
