Item 9. Other Events
Graze, Inc. (the "Company") is providing this update to shareholders regarding recent disruptions to corporate governance and business operations caused by a group of former insiders and purported activist investors.
This group has attempted to execute a written stockholder consent solicitation with the stated intent of removing the current Board of Directors and replacing executive leadership. The Company's legal counsel has reviewed the matter and, based on the information currently available, has advised that the consents are invalid under Delaware law. The current Board and executive team remain in place lawfully.
This group includes former officers and affiliates who were previously under investigation by the Board for alleged misconduct. Given the timing and nature of their actions, the Company believes these efforts may be retaliatory in nature.
These individuals have taken several actions that have materially disrupted Company operations, including:
Gaining unauthorized access to the company's financial systems;
Misrepresenting themselves as Company representatives in communications with vendors and employees;
Creating confusion that has resulted in frozen bank accounts, which continues to inhibit Graze's ability to operate severely.
Furthermore:
The Company remains locked out of its shareholder management systems, which among other issues have prevented internal verification of the purported consents submitted by the activist group.
In addition, several formal information requests issued by Company counsel to the activist group have not been satisfied.
The Company has received a request from the activist group to hold an all-shareholder special meeting. The Company has formally transmitted this request to the broker-dealer and is awaiting guidance on the proper process for facilitating such a meeting, if appropriate.
Notably, the Company does not currently have access to the necessary systems to facilitate such a shareholder meeting independently and will provide a further update once the process details are confirmed.
Despite these serious challenges, the current Board and executive team remain committed to:
|
· |
Preserving business continuity and fulfilling customer commitments; |
|
|
· |
Protecting shareholder interests and upholding corporate governance standards; |
|
|
· |
Ensuring transparency throughout the resolution of this matter. |
The board, leadership team, and employees continue to remain supportive of the company. The board and leadership team continue to defer compensation (as it has for the last year) to support the company.
The Company will continue to update investors through public filings as additional information becomes available.
