RE:Rebuttal now at end of month "Aphria has not yet released its promised point-by-point rebuttal of the short-sellers’ lengthy report. The company will publish its second-quarter earnings on Jan. 11. Chief executive Vic Neufeld says the special committee is still conducting its review, adding in a text message that it will “hopefully be completed by the end of the month.”
That leaves Mr. DeFrancesco to defend himself and the deals at the centre of the controversy. It’s what brought him to The Globe and Mail’s Toronto offices in December – despite warnings from friends and colleagues, he said."
