As the Lopez family feud spilled into public gossip earlier this year, First Gen Corp., led by Federico “Piki” Lopez, took a guarded stance as it limited media access to its annual stockholders’ meeting on Thursday to a virtual feed.

But this may have worked, as Piki and other key officials appeared calmer, belying the bickering and aggressive exchanges seen in previous months

After the usual reports—flaunting milestones and hefty capital for growth—came the eagerly anticipated question-and-answer portion.
