Dear Brian
I understand you are still largely running the show out of tge public eye. I realize you really know what you are doing and Im along for the ride. From what I have gathered, a few years ago, you had spoke of a desire for a US listing and international expansion. Recently Ive heard murmers about a few overseas stores that are finally in the works for opening. Meanwhile Aritzia and your IR are as quiet as kittens while you and Aldo loaded up as shares were being destroyed last year.
Next week it would be appreciated to know more about international plans, progress, timeframes. It would also be nice to know details about any Reigning Champ/Aritzia integration. Also, in my not always so humble opinion, it seems clear to me and any other large shareholdef I know, that without a USA listing, that a great deal of exposure and value remains off the table. Any insight as to timelines on this would be appreciated by shareholders I am sure.
Lastly, great companies require a great story teller because the capital markets are really just a competition for the best story. You have a great story and you are a great story teller and in this light, I sincerely hope you take an active part in next weeks conference call so we can hear some of your great wit & humour! :)
Happy New Year!!!
