“The Board is pleased to have the distraction of the proxy solicitation and related costs behind the Company,” commented Bryan Wallner, CEO and Director. “I am also pleased with the initial progress to right-size overhead and reduce costs, and the performance of the Company’s portfolio of parking assets to date. We anticipate further improving returns over time.”

With the change in management complete, this review is on-going and will be commented on in future periods” said Joel Dumaresq, Chairman of the Board.
