CEO Phillip Frost stated that the company believes its shares are significantly undervalued and offer an attractive investment opportunity.

The note bears interest at the 3-month SOFR (minimum 4.0% per annum) plus 7.5% per annum, with a maturity date of July 2044 and interest-only payments for the first four years.
