Briefs: ThinkSmart CEO spruiks shares, Suncorp back in development finance and NAB's CEO makes trans

Shares in ThinkSmart are trading at a "ridiculous value" of 20.5 cents each or a price multiple of around four times the firm's managing director, Ned Montarello, told The Australian. When the company listed on the ASX in mid 207 the shares were sold at $2.15. At the AGM last monith the company endorsed a plan to link the bonus of Montarello wholly to a revival in the company's share price. Up to one million shares that will vest after three years. The board is yet to issue the performance shares to Montarello.

Suncorp Bank is lending on high density property developments once more, the Courier Mail reported. The bank confirmed to the newspaper that it was lending on "sub-$15 million residential projects in high-demand corridors."

An our-CEO-is-a-regular-guy feature ran in the Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday, with NAB chief executive Cameron Clyne as the subject of the article. Factual crumbs in the article included a renewed commitment by the bank to provide the lowest variable-rate home loan in Australia until the end of the year; a disavowal of rumoured plans to seek Australian Labor Party pre-selection; and Cameron's practice of sometimes taking the bus or tram to work.
