On February 8, 2023, the Company appointed Bruce Kalem, the Company’s former consultant, to serve as its Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.

Mr. Kalem, age 66, has served as a consultant to the Company from November 2022 until his appointment as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Kalem has served in various roles, many at the executive level, over the past 39-years within the transportation industry; including most recently as president of Central Freight Lines Inc., a large less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier. Prior to that role, Mr. Kalem was the chief financial officer of Jones Logistics, LLC, a dedicated logistics carrier and notably, Mr. Kalem spent the majority of his career as the chief financial officer of Milan Express (now Ascend), which is an asset-based carrier providing LTL, truckload dedicated and logistics services.
