Randeep Grewal, CEO and Founder, commented:
"This opportunity available to us in China has been actively pursued to enhance the inherent value that we believe the business offers to its shareholders. This will further the business model that we have systematically developed over many years. Each dilutive capital raise must be accretive to existing shareholders. We believe this current opportunity is too."
