PLYMOUTH, Minn., July 24,
2024 /CNW/ - July 24,
2024, the Voxtur Shareholders for
Accountability1 ("we",
"us", or "our") of Voxtur Analytics Corp. (TSXV:
VXTR) (OTCQB: VXTRF) ("Voxtur" or the "Company"),
reiterate our concerns with respect to the Company following the
results of the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders
held on June 28, 2024 (the
"Meeting"). We accept the results of the Meeting but for the
reasons set forth below, we remain committed to our objective of
maximizing Voxtur shareholder value.
The essential facts remain the same:
1. We
believe that Voxtur lacks a coherent strategic business
plan.
In its press release dated June 21,
2024, the Company made vague assurances regarding: (i) the
execution of a business strategy over the past fourteen months to
maximize shareholder value and (ii) the engagement of a financial
advisor in January 2024 to evaluate
strategic options for the Company. We reiterate that these
purported efforts have yet to yield any positive results for Voxtur
shareholders. The Company also failed to provide concrete details
regarding the substance of such business strategy being executed or
the strategic options being evaluated. To reiterate, over the past
fourteen months, the trading price of the Voxtur shares has
declined by over 60% and trading volume of the Voxtur shares has
declined by over 88%.2 As a result, our overarching
concern about Voxtur's board of directors (the "Board") and
management team (collectively with the Board, the
"Incumbents") to develop and execute a coherent strategic
business plan for the Company remains unchanged.
2.
Voxtur's current management team lacks any significant
experience in the U.S. residential mortgage market.
We believe the Incumbents lack the necessary experience to
execute a business plan to turn around the Company's results. The
Incumbents do not appear to have the track record or experience in
the U.S. residential mortgage market that would suggest the past
performance of the Company will be corrected going forward.
3.
Voxtur's corporate structure remains costly relative to the size
of the underlying business.
The Incumbents have presided over Voxtur's cost structure which
appear to have negatively impacted Voxtur's stock price. In our
view, in order to appropriately manage the Company's capital
structure – most importantly, its loan obligations – the Company's
corporate cost structure must be significantly reduced for the
Company to turn around its deteriorating financial situation.
On the topic of Voxtur's debt obligations and the risks
associated with the Company defaulting on its loan obligations due
to a change of control, Voxtur still has not filed copies of its
material credit agreements on SEDAR+. If, as Voxtur's
management alleges, the credit agreement was material
enough to cause a default due to a change of control, then the
credit agreement ought to be filed on SEDAR+. We reiterate our
demand for the Company to publicly file the credit agreements so
that all Voxtur shareholders have an opportunity to review their
contents and form their own opinions regarding Voxtur's credit risk
(if any).
Our Position Going Forward
We want Voxtur to succeed. The concerns we have raised are our
views and are driven by our position as a significant shareholder
of Voxtur. Our ownership stake in Voxtur will continue to increase
as Voxtur issues us additional shares payable under the purchase
agreement for the membership interests of Blue Water Financial
Technologies Holding Company, LLC. As such, our interests parallel
that of the other Voxtur shareholders: the maximization of
shareholder value.
We believe that Voxtur ought to embrace transformational
governance reforms to reverse the negative trajectory of the
Company. Only time will tell if the results of the Meeting
materially improve shareholder value or reaffirm our concerns.
Either way, as Voxtur shareholders, the Voxtur Shareholders for
Accountability will continue to hold the Board accountable to all
Voxtur shareholders for the performance of the Company.
