The person though was the company's CEO. In that sense, we felt that we were obliged to issue a press release. First reason was because his death occured in another country, so people had to know. The second reason was because we felt that his lifework and achievements had to be underlined in terms of his "fame after death" (υστεροφημία). We also made posts in company's websites and magazines.

Investors might seek legal action for lack of disclosure. If the person is public enough to affect stock price it might actually be essential to not conceal the fact.

I mean, if the person was a public figure of a public organisation then it would actually have a meaning issuing a press release.

Instead of telling the world you upload something on your own website - sort of in honour of? - It strikes me as a lot more respectful. koyan this sounds fantastic.

I can't really have a well-founded argument about that, thats why i said that its all about acting with correctitude. If you just say a few words and nothing more than that then at least you are ok with your conscience. Its all about what feels wright for you. It might, from a "corporate" point of view.
