GrowMax's Questionable Proposed Transaction

When GrowMax had the trading in shares of GrowMax halted for more than a week without explanation to its shareholders, the Concerned Shareholders had hoped management would announce a transaction which would greatly benefit all shareholders of GrowMax. Unfortunately, the announcement is not as "transformative" as GrowMax alludes it to be. The targeted company Primasea Holdings' is the owner of a money losing operation, with a significant working capital deficiency and insufficient resources to carry out its business plan. There are significant flaws with the proposed transaction and shareholders will likely see the value of their investment decrease even further. This only reinforces the need for change. The Concerned Shareholders will provide more details in its voting materials and shareholders are encouraged to read the materials once it is available, prior to casting any vote.
