Sculpin,

In regards to your statement...

"IMO, if Lori is smart, she will try to prove this up as quickly as possible. The longer she takes to do that, the higher the risk percentage goes. If she decides to drag her feet, she risks losing her loyal investors, if she loses enough, she will be unable to thwart a hostile takeover, and risks being forced to accept a low ball offer."

I find it concerning that you might imply Lori isn't aware of these risks. Considering this is an obvious statement to those like me who are only privy to maybe 1% of all the information that exists relating to the operation of this company...imagine how obvious it is to the CEO who is privy to 100% of the information as well as the opinions of the other executives, advisors, consultants, lawyers, accountants, service providers, etc. to form company strategies with.

...

Now I don't really think you believe Lori isn't smart enough to be aware of the realities around her... in light of that I suspect your intention was to simply put forth your hypothesis on how things should be handled based on the information you are aware of, which is entirely fair as hypothesis is welcomed regularly on this forum.

I only bring it up because I am concerned that there may be many shareholders who have never met Lori, particularly new investors that might get a wholly inaccurate impression that she is anything but fully capable in her role as CEO. Lori has proven to be inarguably capable, very intelligent, and is very diligent in her attempt to maximize the value of SLI.

Just one man’s opinion,

S.
