Analysis · EZRA · Finance
A 11.78% holder has formally demanded a special meeting to fire all five directors without cause and install its own five-person slate, with Nachum Klugman to become Executive Chairman if it wins. That is a full control contest at a company already under pressure: Q2 revenue fell 32%, the Altruis sale closed for $8M with only $4.44M in cash, and the company adopted a poison pill on September 3 with a 15% trigger that exempts CEO Ezra Beyman and White Lion Capital. The group also wants to review the White Lion equity line and pursue asset sales, so the outcome directly determines whether the current dilution path continues. The demand was delivered October 15, 2026; if the company does not notice a meeting within 60 days, GNK says it will seek a court order, and GNK intends to file a proxy statement and solicit proxies under Rule 14a-19.
