"On behalf of Patriot's Board I wish to give recognition to our legal teams and express our thanks for their extraordinary efforts and competence. Most importantly, however, we wish to express our gratitude for the perseverance of our long-standing shareholders who have patiently waited for this day. While there will certainly be additional obstacles to confront and overcome, we look forward to this win as a step towards fulfilling our plans to increase Patriot's value and facilitating opportunities to return consideration to our shareholders," added Mr. Flowers.
