Expert Statements

Gabi Gliksberg, Founder and Managing Member of ATG Capital

“Glass Lewis and Egan-Jones have now joined ISS in concluding that change is warranted at Empery Digital. Glass Lewis noted in its report that this Board, led by Mr. Lane, was found by the Delaware Chancery Court to have breached its fiduciary duties in an effort to keep our nominees off the ballot, has presided over steep declines in stockholder value and has offered stockholders narratives that clash with its own track record. We are gratified by Glass Lewis’s support for three of our nominees and its recommendation to withhold on Messrs. Lane, Read and Olason. We are pleased that Egan-Jones went further, recommending that stockholders support all four of our nominees and withhold on Messrs. Lane, Read, Olason and Chauhan. Egan-Jones echoes our call for independent oversight in the boardroom, finding that Empery Digital stockholders have lost two-thirds of their investment since the bitcoin pivot, and concluding that four independent directors would bring the scrutiny of capital allocation, related party dealings and disclosure that is currently missing. We urge stockholders to vote FOR James Elbaor, Gabi Gliksberg, Meredith Kirshenbaum and Aaron Morris today.”
