The Delta Board thanked Mr. Sherman and appreciates the time and efforts expended by him over the past two years that he has served as CEO during the transition after our loss of Dr. Daniel R. Peralta. Mr. Sherman has steered the Company through some very difficult and stressful times and positioned us for some potentially interesting and exciting opportunities that now lie ahead.
The Board has appointed Santiago Peralta, a director of the Company, as Interim Chief Executive Officer.
