Inspira Financial Changes Board of Directors and Management; Notifies Market of Shareholders Exceeding 10% Holdings
August 07 2019 - 9:00AM
Inspira Financial Inc. (the “
Company”) (TSXV:LND)
today announced it has made changes to its Board of Directors and
management team. Additionally, two shareholders have each reported
acquiring shares that bring their current holdings over 10% of the
common shares of the Company.
In light of the condition of the Company, which
still has millions in cash and a limited amount of impaired loans
outstanding, the two largest shareholders, Michael Dalsin and Roger
Greene, have each been appointed to the Board of Directors with Mr.
Greene also being appointed as CEO. Jaime Gerber has stepped down
as a director and the Interim CEO and Brian Chevalier-Jordan has
also stepped down as a director. Randy Berkholtz will remain as a
director.
“I am appreciative of the former management team
for doing their best over the past two years in a challenging
business environment that resulted in declining prices and margins
for their entire market, and for their agreement to step aside
quickly and let us come in to expand and improve the investment
process,” said Michael Dalsin, the incoming Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Company. “We plan to tap into our global
contacts for deal flow to make investments. We will keep the
shareholders updated as to our investment parameters and plans in
the near future. Our goal is to achieve returns by investing in
smaller growth companies, which obviously carries inherent risk of
losses. We hope to mitigate overall risk to some degree by
diversifying investments into multiple companies over time, and
seeking co-investors where possible.”
“In advance of deploying capital toward new
investments, we will focus on higher yield instruments to fund the
extensive costs of listing, due diligence and limited operations,
as well as transactional costs once an investment is made,” said
Roger Greene, incoming CEO of the Company. “We have access to deal
flow from various funds, bankers and directly from private
companies in the US, and we will also develop a plan to provide a
mechanism for all of our shareholders to participate in referring
investment opportunities.”
Investing in smaller companies is a greater risk
than investment in established firms, and investments in higher
yielding income securities can involve greater risk because of
credit issues or changes in interest rates. All transactions will
be subject to the rules and policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
Pursuant to National Instrument 62-103, Mr.
Dalsin and Mr. Greene have each filed a report with Canadian
securities regulators in connection with their respective
acquisitions which can be obtained under the Company’s profile on
the SEDAR website (www.SEDAR.com). The reports indicate that that
the common shares were acquired for investment purposes and that
each of them may increase or reduce their investment in the Company
according to market conditions or other relevant factors. Mr.
Dalsin and Mr. Greene will also be filing necessary reports on the
SEDI website (www.SEDI.ca).
