Mt. Pleasant, UT, Nov. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green PolkaDot Box (OTC Pinks: “GPDB” or the “Company”) announced today that its CEO, Rod Smith, has announced his intent to resign from his positions as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Director on or before December 31, 2017, provided that a new Board can be organized and a new CEO can be identified to replace him.
Smith’s resignation is intended to eliminate any potential conflicts of interest between GPDB and Buying Collective Holdings Incorporated (“BCHI”) where he currently serves as Chairman of the Board and CEO. “It is in the best interests of GPDB shareholders and the Company that I sever ties and make a complete, independent transition to BCHI and its new operating subsidiary Green Polka Dot Box LLC (the “LLC Operating Company”), pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement in place between the two companies,” explained Smith.
GPDB is entitled to receive shares of BCHI common stock for distribution to GPDB shareholders when the Asset Purchase Agreement is closed and GPDB will continue to own 20% of the LLC Operating Company. “By working diligently at BCHI on a full-time basis,” Smith continues, “I can better serve the interests of GPDB shareholders and build value in their ownership through the LLC Operating Company.”
