While I joined the $GFF Board late in the strategic review process, I was pleased w/ the extent of it. There were many parties involved, unfortunately the timing of a transaction didn't work out right now due to unique circumstances & valuations that didn't appropriately reflect
the ongoing business strength. We still have many opportunities to unlock value & I will remain deeply engaged on the Board. We love the r/r of the stock here & believe the undervaluation will get rectified. In the meantime, $GFF will repurchase shares at very attractive levels.
