The Urvan Group Issues Statement Regarding AMMO Inc.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Steven Urvan (together with the other participants in his solicitation, the “Urvan Group” or “we”), who owns approximately 17.1% of the outstanding common shares of AMMO, Inc. (NASDAQ: POWW) (“AMMO” or the “Company”), today issued the following statement following its nomination of seven highly qualified candidates for election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”):
“We appreciate the positive feedback that has been proactively provided to us by our fellow shareholders. We also appreciate that the Company’s August 29th press release invited ‘all shareholders’ to articulate their views and perspectives. Given the Company’s finite resources and modest market capitalization, we hope leadership focuses on efficiently evaluating investor sentiment – not spending shareholders’ precious capital on a defensive and reactionary campaign. Likewise, we urge leadership to avoid any action or transaction that dilutes shareholders ahead of the Annual Meeting. Please trust that the Urvan Group is committed to continuing to advocate for all shareholders’ best interests and pursuing a value-enhancing transformation of AMMO in the public market.”
