Appointment of Director

 

On August 18, 2023, the Company’s board of directors appointed Jonathan McKeage to serve as a member of the board of directors to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Zutshi’s resignation.

 

Mr. McKeage has over 30 years of experience in the areas of M&A, corporate finance, equity analysis, trading and investor relations. Mr. McKeage has served as a director of Goldenstone Acquisition Ltd. since July 2021. Mr. McKeage has served in various roles at American Education Center, a provider of college application advice, and acclimation and business services to Chinese students studying in the United States and their families, since September 2015: as Senior Advisor since September 2017; as Chief Executive Officer and director from September 2016 to August 2017; and as Managing Director from September 2015 to August 2016. From September 2015 to June 2017, Mr. McKeage served as Chief Academic Officer and a Professor at Columbia International College, Inc. Prior to that, from 2004 to 2010, Mr. McKeage served as Vice President of Corporate Development for Digital Angel Corporation, where he coordinated acquisitions and divestitures and served as in-house investor relations manager for this international RFID and GPS technology group. During this time, Mr. McKeage also served as Chief Executive Officer and Director of New Jersey-based Digital Angel subsidiary InfoTech USA, an OTC-quoted provider of information technology and consulting services to small and medium sized businesses, where he led a business model restructuring and eventual sale to a private equity group, as part of the parent company’s program of divestiture of non-core assets. Before this, Mr. McKeage for two years was an Account Manager with Allen & Caron, a New York and London based investor relations firm, where he led roadshows and wrote press releases for the firm’s small cap client base and advised C-suite executives on IR strategies. In the early 1990s Mr. McKeage spent three years with Kalb Voorhis, a New-York based brokerage and specialist operation, where he acted as floor broker on the NYSE and client relationship manager with the firm’s AMEX specialist unit, as well as on the firm’s equity sales desk “upstairs” executing customer trades on these exchanges. Following this, he spent two years with Niederhoffer Investments, a New York-based financial group engaged primarily in commodities trading, where he engaged in commodities research and ADR trading, as well as managing the firm’s private company exclusive sale business. Mr. McKeage’s investment banking experience includes seven years (1995 to 2002) as a Managing Director in the Corporate Finance department of New York-based Dominick & Dominick LLC, where he was involved in a number of domestic and international M&A and equity funding assignments and also led European roadshows for US clients in conjunction with Dominick’s then-extensive European branch network. Mr. McKeage holds a bachelor degree from Rice University, masters and PhD degrees from Harvard University and a Certificate in Business Administration from The Wharton School. We believe Mr. McKeage is well-qualified to serve as a member of the board given his public company experience, including investor relations, business leadership, operational experience and contacts.
