Blue Ocean thanks its fellow shareholders for their support in achieving this positive outcome today. The actions taken reflect an overwhelming shareholder repudiation of the proposed acquisition of Cellenkos and the total disregard for shareholder perspectives shown by the prior Board and management team. Given the result of the vote, Blue Ocean is confident that Global Cord will now be able to focus its full efforts on executing against its growth strategy while driving long-term sustainable value for all of its shareholders.
