Tauriga’s Chairman & CEO Dr. Stella Sung stated, “By extinguishing the remaining obligations to Typenex, the Company has taken important steps to both improve its capital structure and reduce the supply of shares in the marketplace. This has been a challenging situation for Tauriga, and there has been understandable investor frustration with respect to our recent share price. Throughout this period, though, management has continually focused on building the fundamentals of the business and the Company remains excited and optimistic about the opportunities to both grow existing business and launch new products.”
