We believe that this is a testament to the positive path we are on as we execute our business plan and also strive to build a healthier balance sheet moving forward."
NaturalShrimp Chief Financial Officer William Delgado also commented, "This was a clean and straightforward transaction with a modest discount to our current market price; we are excited about the continued improvement in our financial strength.
