We will continue to actively assess further synergistic acquisitions and continue with our client diversification strategy, all with a view to diversifying and growing our business so as to provide increased shareholder value. We are thrilled to be working with the Darkhorse team as they share our vision for the strategic direction of SoLVBL.”
