The company will now be run by bondholders, including Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Melody Capital.
Most significantly, CEO Henry Juszkiewicz is out of the picture, with him and co-owner Dave Berryman seeing their equity stakes cancelled. Bloomberg reports that both will receive a consulting agreement that bars them from making negative comments about Gibson.
“I will continue to aid Gibson for at least a couple more years, and my mission, really, is to pass on the knowledge and the tools to allow the next generation of management to really excel and bring the brand to a whole new level,” Juszkiewicz told Guitarist recently.
"We are musicians. We care deeply about the brand and we are going to protect it".
