The filing made no mention of the reason for the move, but given the accent I heard from Cowan on the 2013 earnings call, I'd say he's staying in Texas. During the call, Cowan repeated statements by the company that he was brought on to drive growth. But I wasn't the only one to note his history of running companies short-term before their sale. One blog calls him a "graveyard veteran", referring to the disappearance of several organizations he shepherded. Oh yeah, Crusco's agreement provides another $100,000 in case of certain qualified terminations and she decides to move back to California. Given the $90-plus million in interest Epicor is paying quarterly on the debt involved in buying and merging Epicor and Activant, I thought that selling the company is probably the only way to really trim that.
