“Listening to the concerns of our investors is a top priority,” said CEO Marshall Perkins. “This reduction in shares and the careful management of our future Reg A offering are part of our long-term strategy to drive shareholder value and strengthen our company from top to bottom. We will always adhere to all laws, limits, and regulations while keeping our shareholders informed on major developments during the process.”
