transition out of her role. Ms. Abbott will remain with the Company
through the end of November, ensuring continuity in reporting of Q3
fiscal 2022 results and an orderly handover of the role to Ms.

growth over the last six years, helping us reach our current scale
through a combination of both organic initiatives and acquisitions,
building a strong finance team and, most recently, completing our
IPO," continued Young. "On behalf of the Boat Rocker team, I want
to thank Michelle for her contributions to the Company and wish her
nothing but the best in her future endeavors."
