30 January 2019 - 8:31AM
Auralite Investments Inc. (TSX Venture-AAAA) (the
"
Company" or "
Auralite"), is
pleased to provide the following corporate update:
In December, Auralite welcomed two new board
members, Terry Thompson and Jason Morton.
Mr. Terry Thompson is a Bachelor of Commerce
graduate from the University of British Columbia in 1976 and has
over 25 years of senior management experience. His last position
was Executive VP and General Manager of 4Refuel Canada Ltd where he
helped lead a company from shortly after its start up in 1995 to
the leading provider of on-site and on-line diesel fuel management
services in Canada with annual sales in excess of $200 million.
During Mr. Thompson’s tenure 4Refuel was named Canada’s 7th best
company to work for in a national survey and one of Canada’s 50
Best Managed Companies in 2010. In 2010, at the age of 56, Mr.
Thompson sold his interest in 4Refuel to a private equity group and
is now a private investor and volunteer business advisor to a
number of small business CEOs and senior executives.
Mr. Jason Morton has nearly ten years of
investment analysis and portfolio management experience. During his
investment career at Wellington Management Company, one of the
largest institutional investment managers globally, he served as a
financial technology analyst before moving on to assist in managing
the broader technology-oriented sleeves for various in-house hedge
funds. Mr. Morton also helped launch Wellington's first and only
pre-IPO fund, focused on late-stage private emerging technology
companies, for which he was named head portfolio coordinator. Upon
leaving Wellington in 2015, Mr. Morton pursued entrepreneurship and
became an investor/operator in a nanotechnology company, Nano
Global Corporation, based in Austin, TX. He has served as Head of
Corporate Development & Corporate Finance during his tenure.
Recently, he was chosen for the role of President in a major
internet of things (IoT)-centered joint venture involving Nano
Global and one of the world's largest semiconductor companies.
Mr. Thompson also assumed the role of Chief
Financial Officer of Auralite, following Hani Zabaneh's retirement
from both his director and CFO positions which Mr. Zabaneh had held
since the Company's inception.
Robert Meister, President and CEO of Auralite
commented: “the Company and directors thank Hani for his
contributions and wish him the best in all his future
endeavors.”
Robert Meister went on to state: “We are also
delighted to welcome Terry and Jason to the Auralite team. We are
fortunate to have Terry as our new CFO and look forward to sharing
in his extensive experience. Jason is an accomplished
technology-focused fund manager and will be of great value to the
Auralite team.”
The Company is also pleased to provide an update
on its four-for-one forward stock split which became effective in
early January. Following completion of the forward split, the
Company's common shares have experienced increased trading volume,
providing improved liquidity to all shareholders.
Going forward, Auralite is looking to invest in revolutionary
and disruptive technologies in the following six key
verticals:
- Environmental Technology
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Internet of Things (IoT) & Blockchain
- Fintech
- BioTech, BioPharma, and Cannabis Tech
