Danny has been involved in all of our transactions, has shown great aptitude in evaluating these transactions, and we are pleased to have him now involved on the business side of these processes along with our external consultants so that we might perpetuate the success of this program and, in turn, be able to share that success with our shareholders in the form of continued dividend payments.”
