Katherine’s employment with Maritz Inc. The board rejected each
resolution by a four-to-three vote.
G. Personal Effects on Katherine and Damian
Katherine’s termination from Maritz Inc. resulted in
dramatic changes in her personality. She went from being a
positive, energetic, decisive person to someone who, for months
after her termination, could not sleep, get out of bed, eat, or
make even small decisions. She also suffered embarrassment from
the reporting of her termination in the newspaper and local
business journal.
Similarly, the termination of Damian’s professional
relationship with Maritz Inc. caused him shock and embarrassment
and adversely affected his relationships with his business
partners and customers.
H. Continued Negotiations
Throughout the remainder of 1993 and into the beginning of
1994, the redemption negotiations continued. In one meeting in
the fall of 1993, Peter Hobler, the designated representative of
the Hobler family, described emotional damages to Katherine and
Damian resulting from Bill Maritz’s actions, and Suelthaus
asserted tort claims for emotional damage on Katherine’s and
Damian’s behalf.
