RoseBowl;
"I'm not happy with how they treated all of us as shareholders. Complete silence for months, and many of you have told me your repeated inquiries to management have not been returned."
I have to agree a tad with you here and disagree with you even more. I do not like that many shareholders tried to have conversations with the company for months when they were laying low and licking their wounds from having lost the CEO. We certainly would have liked some communication in that time, even if it was that they were rather lost, looking for some direction, running an increasing burdensome debt situation, and struggling with whether or not the deal they had been looking into was going to gor through. That again, left us shareholders with a not-so-pleasant taste of distrust in our mouths. I also tried to have some phone communication with them a time or two, to only have unreturned phone calls.
However, I do have to say that they have been extremely available as of late, once the proxy issue was stated and I started calling again. I do believe that I was calling for a different person months ago than who I call now. Do not know if it is a difference in the people I was trying to contact or if it is a pleasant change in company policy, but I have to say, I am pleasantly impacted by the change to open communications. So, your remarks about the company being unavailable, at this time, are not accurate.
Maybe this is the time for you to pick up the phone and have a few conversations with a few of your old associates. Maybe???
We would love to hear what you guys hash out!!!!!
We would love to hear that an agreed understanding of what has transpired is worked out, to all parties satisfaction, and that a focused, coordinated, cooperative effort can be supported so this company can shine.
