Hesham "Sham" Gad, the largest stockholder of Paragon Technologies (OTC PINK:PGNT) with a 28.2% ownership stake, has issued a statement thanking shareholders for their support ahead of the 2025 Annual Meeting. Gad is leading a proxy contest with his slate of director nominees against the incumbent board.
While acknowledging recent proxy advisory firm recommendations, Gad criticizes their assessment for not fully considering key issues like wasteful spending and Q1 losses. He expresses concern over the incumbent board's decision to include two of his nominees on their slate despite their objections, and condemns what he describes as a "calculated smear campaign" by current board leadership.
Paragon Technologies (OTC:PGNT) has mailed its definitive proxy statement for the upcoming annual meeting on June 30, 2025. The company's Nominating Committee is urging shareholders to vote "FOR" their proposed slate of directors on the WHITE proxy card, opposing former CEO Hesham Gad's proxy contest. The committee's proposed board includes five members: three independent directors (David Lontini, Howard Brownstein, and Tim Eriksen) added in December 2024, and two of Gad's nominees (Ronell Rivera and Elodie Leoni), representing 40% of the board.
The committee strongly criticizes Gad's leadership, citing alleged illegal residency, misclassification as a contractor, wasteful activism campaigns, and value-destroying litigation. They argue that despite owning only 28% of shares, Gad seeks 100% board control through his competing slate.
Paragon Technologies (OTCPK:PGNT) has issued a strong rebuttal to former Chairman and CEO Hesham "Sham" Gad's recent statements.

The board criticizes Gad for prolonging litigation after bylaws were repealed, potentially costing shareholders millions. The company refutes Gad's accusations of concealment and states that shareholders can request access to the complaint against former corporate counsel. The board emphasizes that legal filings demonstrate Gad's pattern of deceit and mismanagement, urging shareholders to rely on factual information rather than his distortions.
