stephanie: have you looked at how kevin plank is compensated every year?erik: $1.9 million in cash bond and $1.6 million in stock. stephanie: that is such a small percentage. he works in line with his employees on the same team, but he wants to remain the guy who calls the shots. erik: ownership problem is a problem of his own making. i don't know if shareholders should be the ones to pay for a problem he created. stephanie: or maybe the shareholders will say the stock -- erik: last time, google stock performance has been amazing and was nothing short of amazing leading up to 20136. when google tried to do this, it was approved by only 12% of shareholders. when they tried to ram it through, the shareholders sued them and google settled with them out of court. i just want to bring a little transparency and sunlight to the situation sure shareholders can act in an informed situation. stephanie: shareholders might do that or say what an incredible run this is. we want to stay on this train led by the guy that brought us here. erik: they can do that. stephanie

kevin plank's point is the stock has gone up 120% in the ten years, starting in 2005.pretty big case he's making here. >> very well-liked ceo. a number of us here speak to him on a somewhat regular basis. stock is loved on wall street. it's done incredibly well. does this change the way you view the stock and where it can go? >> no. and i'll tell you why. if you're a shareholder of under armour, not a trade, but if you actually invested in the company, you're basically invested in kevin plank. and you probably won't want three activists to get together and start calling the shots. if under armour misses earnings two quarters in a row, all of a sudden the stock drops and you have a situation where guys in connecticut are calling up other shareholders, oh, we think they should sell more women's clothes in the eastern region. and we think they should drop lacrosse because it's unprofitable. nobody that's a real shareholder wants to see something like that. in it could also be about perhaps he wants to make an acquisition in new stock. that would further delude himself. >>
