Tucson, AZ, May 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Energetics, Inc. (OTCQB: AERG) today announced that Acting Chief Executive Officer Thomas C. Dearmin has issued the following letter to shareholders.
Fellow Shareholders,
On March 9th, 2018, a new management team was put in place by the shareholders of Applied Energetics (AE). The new Board of Directors (BOD) are Thomas C. Dearmin, an original cofounder and CEO of the company, Jonathon Barcklow and Brad Adamcayk. Our BOD and Scientific Advisory Board are highly qualified and bring invaluable experience to the company. Their bios are available on our new website, www.aergs.com. As the first line of business, Thomas Dearmin was appointed acting CEO by the new board. In the weeks since, the company has undertaken a series of activities focused on certain high priority areas. Most notable of these are: A) understanding where the company currently stands on its current debt situation, and B) the reverification of the company’s valuable patent portfolio. Management considers these two areas critical for the successful reconstitution of the company.
As such, the executive team has now developed a short-term action plan as follows:
AE’s executive team is committed to providing full transparency and updates with respect to the nature and timing of events listed above. AE’s immediate goal will be to leverage the current strength of its patent portfolio and its executive team’s experience in this market to develop a product road map that enables AE to engage with clients on existing and new technologies.
