As previously disclosed, on September 17, 2024, Robby Chang was terminated as Chief Executive Officer and President of Gryphon for cause, with immediate effect, by the Board. Mr. Chang remains a member of the Board.

The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

 

On October 22, 2024, the Board created a special committee to oversee the Company’s handling of the Claim made up of Steve Gutterman, Jimmy Vaiopoulos, Dan Tolhurst and Jessica Billingsley.
