Vancouver, BC, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RevoluGROUP Canada Inc. (TSX-V: REVO), (Frankfurt: IJA2), (Munich: A2PU92) (the "Company") today announced the naming of an Interim CEO & Director, Erik Aaron Lara Riveros, of the interim Chairman, Yoel Rosenheck, and of two new Directors, Gavin McMillan and Mab Shahriar, and announces the resignation of the actual members of the board of directors. The Company also confirms the CAD $7 million private placement from Meridien Holdings LLC led by the new board of directors.
The company acknowledges the services of the outgoing board of directors and welcomes the new members of the board
After the period of time, from to the resignation of the previous CEO and the Chairman, the remaining members of the board, Fernando Guillen, Francisco Balboa and Alfredo Manresa, have made a tremendous effort in terms of own human and capital resources to be able to fulfill their responsibilities, having to occupy positions and functions for which they were not initially called as board members. In an exercise of responsibility and in view of the urgent financial needs of the company, and with the sole intention of accelerating the capitalization of RevoluGROUP, they have decided to take a step back and appoint a new board of directors in coordination with some of the company's most significant shareholders.
Therefore, the Company is pleased to announce the approval with immediate effect of the new Board of Directors, subject to the TSX Venture acceptance of the requisite PIF (“Personal Information Form”), as follows:
- Erik Aaron Lara Riveros as Interim CEO
- Yoel Rosenheck as Interim Chairman
- Mab Shahriar as Director
- Gavin McMillan as Director
Bios of the new Management team will be added to the corporate website https://revolugroup.com/about/management/ shortly.
This leadership team has been carefully selected to navigate RevoluGROUP through its current challenges and to capitalize on the opportunities ahead. Erik Aaron Lara Riveros and Yoel Rosenheck bring the leadership and strategic vision necessary to conclude the investment from Meridien and to guide the company toward sustainable growth. Mab Shahriar’s extensive experience on Wall Street will be invaluable in steering our financial strategy, while Gavin McMillan’s insights will enhance our strategic direction. As Gavin McMillan was previously the CEO and therefore not considered independent, a fifth independent board member will be appointed as soon as possible once the new board of directors takes office.
The Company confirms the commitment of up to CAD $7 Million Private Placement from Meridien Holdings LLC by RevoluGROUP new Board of Directors
RevoluGROUP Canada Inc. confirms the commitment of up to CAD $7 Million in a non-brokered private placement with Meridien Holdings LLC, as previously announced on July 29, 2024. The newly appointed board of directors will promptly formalize this Private Placement to provide RevoluGROUP with the necessary financial resources for maintaining good standing and initiating commercial activities.
Changes to the Memorandum of Understanding
As per the news release dated July 26, 2024, the original MoU steps have been replaced. Meridien Holdings will now focus solely on the direct private placement. The previously outlined “Step 1” and “Step 2” processes, including the acquisition of warrants and shares, are no longer being pursued. This streamlined approach ensures a direct capital infusion to strengthen RevoluGROUP's financial stability and operational capacity, reinforcing the partnership’s commitment to the company’s growth.
