Compuware's Karmanos Gets 44% Pay Increase - Technology - RedOrbit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) In the year ending in March, Karmanos' base salary was $971,850, more than a 50% increase from his $635,925 salary for the year ending in March 2005. That salary reduction was part of a cost-cutting effort during gloomy financial times for Compuware after the post-millennium tech bust that led earnings per share to drop 172%, from 91 cents in 2000 to a 66-cent per share loss in 2002. Karmanos' bonus for fiscal 2006, which is tied to the company's performance, was $1.75 million, a 20% increase compared with last year. www.redorbit.com /news/technology/521888/compuwares_karmanos_gets_44_pay_increase/index.html?source=r_technology   (380 words)

Model D - Karmanos: 'It's All Detroit' Karmanos, who on the Friday before the game was admittedly already a little worn out from the week’s partying, didn’t gloat. But Karmanos did not take the party week as a chance to give a big “told-you-so” to naysayers, people who asked why on earth would he move the world headquarters of his company to Downtown Detroit. Detroit is coming back, and Karmanos is in the catbird seat, sitting in a shiny office building overlooking a vibrant park, new restaurants and new places to live. www.modeldmedia.com /features/karmanos.aspx   (786 words)

How's It Goin', Pete? Karmanos calls the Columbus proposal -- a 25-year lease under which the operator would pay $3 million in annual rent to the convention facilities authority and $200,000 a year to the community -- a "significantly better deal" than the offer he received to stay in Hartford. Karmanos also notes his team now is "formerly the Hartford Whalers." Asked to propose some new names, Karmanos smiles, suggesting Cyclones or Hurricanes. Karmanos had bragged that the team would be 10 to 15 points better just by virtue of being out of Hartford; by October 15 the team is off to a franchise-worst 1-7-2 start. sophia.smith.edu /~jeue/John/pete.html   (2091 words)

TSN.ca - Print Story - Canada's Sports Leader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Karmanos, who made his fortune operating the Detroit-region Compuware conglomerate, has plenty of reason to smile over the 'Canes' success this spring. Karmanos was viewed as a hard-liner in the months leading up to the lockout that wiped out the 2004-2005 season.

LCS Hockey - Karmanos Mauled at the Mall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) When asked if Karmanos would see a percentage of the sales, Secosky responded, "Yeah, I got his percentage right here." The fact that he accompanied his response with a rather unique hand gesture led one to believe that Karmanos would never see dollar one from the shirts. The combination of the unusual cardiovascular activity and the blow to the stomach was too much for Karmanos and he crumpled to the ground in a heap. As Karmanos attempted to gather his last bit of energy and crawl to safety, Dell noticed that they were in the middle of a lunching area and reached for a nearby chair. www.lcshockey.com /issues/87/87maul.asp   (1917 words)

ESPN.com - Karmanos: Hard-nosed owner, die-hard hockey fan Although an aggressive ticket campaign saw the number of season-ticket holders almost double to 11,000, and it looked for a time as though the state was going to work with Karmanos to build a new rink, he instead paid almost $20.5 million to extricate the team from Hartford after the 1996-97 season. Karmanos acknowledged that having the team play in Greensboro, about 70 miles from Raleigh, for two seasons while a new rink was built wasn't the best way to grow a franchise in a nontraditional hockey market. During the lockout, Karmanos said the owners were going to exert their will over the players. sports.espn.go.com /espn/print?id=2470768&type=story   (1536 words)

Ilitch, 72, and Karmanos, 59, are, as the latter has said, "unfriendly rivals." Their discontent stems from youth hockey, which in Detroit is serious business. Karmanos got payback in February 1998 when Carolina tendered Wings center Sergei Fedorov an offer sheet that would have paid him $38 million over six years, including a $14 million signing bonus and another $12 million bonus if the team reached the conference finals. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /si_online/scorecard/news/2002/06/11/sc   (497 words)

It's interesting to note the statements made by Karmanos come with reports out of Montreal indicating NHL teams are going to be given the green light to book buildings for the rest of the season. slam.canoe.ca /Slam/Hockey/NHL/2005/01/12/896006.html   (695 words)
