That is a bold faced lie, right out of the box. Zelibor is not "refreshed leadership"

Many thanks to Jeunke and Walter for your contributions to this board over the years. Despite the earthquake we were subjected to by Michael Lebby’s resignation I still am confident that my investment here of 10+ years will pay off. Looking forward to a prosperous New Year.

And to start it off I’m taking the family to Amsterdam and Bruges for the holidays. Beautiful, vibrant cities. Incredible lights and landscapes. And an industrious, open minded people that understand capitalism and innovation. From The Dutch East India Company, a company that once had the highest valuation is the history of capitalism, to today’s innovative ASML, a company critical to the whole semiconductor industry, this region, the Low Countries, has been a vanguard of progress.

Since the nadir of the Dutch Hunger Winter and the kick start of a new era from Operation Chowhound and Operation Manna, this region and its people understand what it takes to succeed. And I might add you have a gracious and intelligent Queen that makes Lady Di look like a wallflower. No insult intended to the memory of Di.

So when intelligent investors from this region believe in a company and its technology then I’m listening.

Michael Lebby is a perfectionist. You have to be if you are a technologist. You must strive for the best iteration of your technology to be successful. He supervised Lightwave's polymer technology in a very good time frame for what was achieved. It required relying on outside manufacturing which was not under his complete control I believe he did a marvelous job in this.

It is a mistake for some to look at him and fault him for being a bad negotiator because it is hard to be flexible (like in negotiations) if you are a perfectionist. It is, after all, necessary to think flexibly in how to structure contracts and to respond to other companies' demands in the negotiating process in a way that can be a win-win for both. The Board had to act as the industry is rapidly moving ahead. Now it is necessary to be nimble, flexible and creative in a business sense. I can't fault him for not being all of that. It was time to make a strategic change. I hope he remains proud over what he accomplished here.
