David Baazov remains as Amaya chairman

Amaya CEO David Baazov was re-elected as the company’s chairman of the board despite being a part of the insider trading probe.

Baazov received 96% of shareholders votes during the company’s annual general meeting in Montreal.

ISS Proxy Advisory Services also recommended to re-elect all board members including Daniel Sebag, Gen. Wesley Clark, Divyesh (David) Gadhia, Harlan Goodson and Dr. Aubrey Zidenberg.

Baazov said business has carried on during the investigation and he is confident Amaya will be cleared.
