- The Company's continuing financial underperformance and plummeting stock price demonstrate the ineffectiveness of management and the current Board of Directors.
- The Company continues to engage in dilutive equity issuances, self-dealing, and related party transactions with HCFP/Capital Partners and its affiliates, to the detriment of Scopus stockholders.
- The Company continues to misrepresent key facts regarding the ongoing litigation with Dr. Laster in the Delaware Court of Chancery.
- The Stockholder Group calls on the Company to completely resolve the litigation.
- The current Board has failed – do the right thing and vote them out!
Dr. Laster urges ALL Scopus stockholders to vote on the BLUE proxy card "FOR" the election of Dr. Laster's highly qualified director nominees, Mordechai Saar Hacham and Joshua Levine.
