OTCQB is a tier of the over‑the‑counter (OTC) market where smaller or developing companies list their shares for trading without being on a major stock exchange. Think of it like a well‑kept side street market: companies must meet basic reporting and transparency checks so investors get more information than the lowest OTC tier, but trading is usually less liquid and riskier than on big exchanges. Investors care because OTCQB listings can offer early access to growth stories but come with higher price swings and greater chance of limited resale options.
nasdaqtechnical
The Nasdaq is a stock exchange where many companies' shares are bought and sold, functioning much like a marketplace for investments. It matters to investors because it provides a platform to buy and sell ownership stakes in companies, helping them track the value of those companies and make informed decisions. As one of the largest and most technology-focused markets, it also reflects trends and developments in the business world.
schedule 13dregulatory
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
annual meetingregulatory
A company's annual meeting is a yearly gathering where owners (shareholders) and the board review performance, ask questions, and vote on key matters like electing directors, approving auditor choices, and sometimes setting pay or dividend policies. For investors it matters because decisions made and votes cast can change who runs the company, influence strategy and payouts, and affect the value or direction of their investment—similar to a homeowners’ meeting where rules and leaders that shape your property’s value are decided.

Cites Strategic Delisting Following Failed Negotiations and 10% Stake Concerns
Dream Chasers have come into credible information Board planning dilutive stock issuance
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Dream Chasers Capital Group (DCCG), the leading shareholder of Carver Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB: CARV), is today responding to the Board’s recent blocking of the nomination of Moishe Gubin, Chairman of NYSE-listed OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPHC), and Greg Lewis, CEO of Dream Chasers. Shareholders should not be surprised. Shareholders are once again witnessing the Board’s utilization of corporate machinery—backed by high-priced counsel—to disenfranchise owners through actions like the delisting of shares to the less liquid OTC markets and now blocking Mr. Gubin—a proven winner who could help recoup your investment. Remarkably, this occurs at the expense of you, the owners of the bank.
Moishe Gubin: A Masterclass in Banking Turnaround
Gubin’s record at OptimumBank Holdings is a blueprint for success:
Regulatory Turnaround: Successfully cleared a decade-long consent order by boosting capital to "well-capitalized" levels.
From Loss to Leader: Transformed a struggling bank into a powerhouse delivering record net income of $16.65M for 2025—a 600% core earnings growth since 2021.
Scale & Efficiency: Grew assets from $100M to over $1.11B while maintaining a 49.59% efficiency ratio, crushing the industry average of 67.3%.
A Timeline of Events—Setting the Record Straight
Oct. 13, 2025: DCCG nominated Moishe Gubin and Jeff Bailey.
Initial Offer: Carver asked DCCG to endorse two incumbent nominees.
Second Offer: Carver offered "board observation seats," an offer considered insufficient given Mr. Gubin's success.
Breakdown: Realizing Carver was not serious, DCCG ended negotiations.
Nov. 18, 2025: 24 hours later, Carver announced delisting; the stock price dropped 50%.
Feb. 20, 2026: DCCG submitted its nomination of Moishe Gubin and Greg Lewis.
March 5, 2026: Three days before the SEC deadline, the Board informed DCCG of "numerous deficiencies" and its plans to block the independent nominees.
Concerns Regarding “Defensive” Governance and Dilution
DCCG is monitoring the emergence of Barry Mann as a 10% filer via a Schedule 13D. The timing is being reviewed to ensure it is not a maneuver to dilute the 70% retail shareholder mandate previously established in opposition to current policies.
A Mandate for Change: 70% Strong Retail Support
Dream Chasers appreciates the 70% support of retail shareholders and intends to continue to fight for them. As the May 21, 2026, Annual Meeting approaches, DCCG urges all shareholders to be vigilant of any anti-takeover, dilutive, or other moves which do not accurately reflect current or future intrinsic value. DCCG remains committed to the removal of this Board and the restoration of Carver’s value. Any issuance of new stock should be subject to competitive bidding. All shareholders should remain vigilant to any attempt to tip the scale or further disenfranchise shareholders as the annual meeting approaches. Dream Chasers appreciate all shareholders' future support.
