“Through our first three years, we are proud of
the shareholder value creation in executing on our approach to
constructive activist investing in microcap public companies,” said
Kevin M. Rendino, Chief Executive Officer of 180. “The gross
total return of our public market holdings of 70.8% in 2019, and
210.0% over the last three years, exceeded the returns of our
closest benchmark indices. These positive returns were the
sole reason for the growth of our NAV over the past three years,
which also exceeded our closest benchmark indices. We ended
2019 with over 50% of our balance sheet in cash and liquid
securities (totaling $1.65 per share of TURN), up from 21% when I
joined the Board in June 2016. We continue to drive towards
our goal of having 100% of our balance sheet in cash and public
securities.”
Mr. Rendino and Daniel Wolfe, President, Chief
Financial Officer and Portfolio Manager, will host a conference
call tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25, 2020, at 9am Eastern Time, to
discuss the results from the fourth quarter of 2019 and for the
full year. The call can be accessed by phone at (712)
