Global Digital Solutions Inc (OTCMKTS:GDSI)’s CEO, William J. Delgado, has written a letter to shareholders, providing an update on the recently initiated litigation against the company, by the SEC. Mr. Delgado began his letter by clarifying that the civil action makes the company liable in the litigation, only as an employer of the two former officers. He also reaffirmed that no other employees of the company have been named in the filing. The CEO also assured his shareholders that he would keep them updated on the matter, as much as the law would allow it.
In addition to this, Mr. Delgado also provided an update about the company’s business. He referred to an earlier letter, issued on May 15, stating that the company has been cleaning up its balance sheet and is diligently working to become current with its filings, as was stated earlier, but it would not be able to provide any specifics before September. Moreover, GDSI had been reviewing its strategic alternatives, including acquisitions. Mr. Delgado stated that the management had made significant progress in this regard, but could not provide details for strategic and legal reasons.
Following the litigation from the SEC, Global Digital is also under investigation by several law firms, on behalf of buyers of its securities. The investigation is looking at potential claims, which could be filed on behalf of the shareholders. As such, shareholders of the company are being asked to contact these law firms, in order to get details about their rights, on this matter.
The SEC’s litigation focuses on three press releases, made by GDSI, between October 2013 and March 2014. It accuses the former CEO, Richard J. Sullivan, and former CFO, David A. Loppert, of issuing false and misleading press releases and revenue guidance, during this period. The company had never been a budding leader in the manufacture of cyber arms, as had been presented at the time, neither was its revenue projection achievable at the time.
Global Digital Solutions Inc (OTCMKTS:GDSI) closed at a share price of $0.001, at the end of the August 17 trading session.
