Paul Wood, Interim CEO and President stated, “The Sale Transaction is intended to facilitate a rapid and cost-effective final disposition of the Company’s discontinued business in Israel. At the Meeting, we will ask our shareholders to approve the name change and share consolidation in order to give the Company additional flexibility to structure and execute a potential value enhancing transaction.  Our goal continues to be to transform the Company’s business efficiently and diligently.  Should these resolutions be passed, and with the advancement of earn-out payments through the settlement agreement entered into with SICPA Finance S.A. (see press release of July 31, 2018), $2.1 million of which has now been received leaving a balance of $1.3 million due January 3, 2019, the Company would be well positioned to facilitate a greater range of transformative transaction alternatives.”
