Management Commentary:
"Over the past decade, Zoned Properties has worked to pioneer real estate services and development in the emerging and regulated cannabis industry," said Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties. "While we have built a strong organization that has surpassed many milestones, the challenges of operating as a public company in the cannabis space have limited our ability to deliver direct value to our shareholders. We believe that liquidating the Company's assets and operations and returning substantial capital to shareholders through a special dividend represents the optimal path forward to reward our loyal investors."
"Following an exhaustive review of the Company's strategic alternatives in a challenging industry environment, the Special Transactions Committee has concluded that the planned liquidation of the Company's assets and operations is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders and will maximize shareholder value," said Cole Stevens, Independent Director and Chair of the Special Transactions Committee of Zoned Properties. "We are confident that these transactions will deliver the greatest possible value to shareholders, compared to any other available option."
