CEO Kevin Frija stated: “With the retirement of these outstanding options we feel we are off to a fantastic start to building shareholder confidence.”  Mr. Frija continued: “Initially we set up these options which allowed us to fund the Company back in 2015 when there were no employees or business to speak of, since then we have come a long way adding value to the Company. These past months we have really turned a corner with our newly acquired business and our stock attracting a new investor base. We feel that we need to take the right steps to maintain and build shareholder equity. Our current units outstanding amount is $50,672,125.
