Commenting on the management change, John Moore, the outgoing CEO of Acorn, stated, "During my ten-year tenure at Acorn we had both huge successes and more recently, the disappointing failure of US Seismic in the face of overwhelming headwinds from the free fall in the energy market. With the signing of the strategic agreement to sell a portion of our interest in our DSIT subsidiary to Rafael announced today, I and the Board felt that this was the right time to make a change. The Board of Directors has been very pleased with our working relationship with Jan, who has a 35-year history of investing in undervalued companies and helping them achieve their true potential. He is very bottom line oriented and we are confident in his leadership. I believe Jan will maximize the value of our assets including the more than $50 million of net operating loss carryforwards. He has my full support as well as that of our Board and I wish him, the Company and my fellow shareholders all the best."
