Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 17, 2015, MYOS Corporation (the “ Company ”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with RENS Technology Inc. (the “ Purchaser ”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to invest $20.25 million in the Company (the “ Financing ”) in exchange for (i) an aggregate of 3,537,037 shares (the “ Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Common Stock ”), and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 884,259 shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrants ”, and together with the Shares, the “ Securities ”). The Purchaser will purchase the Securities in three tranches over twenty-four months. In the first tranche, which will close immediately following receipt of stockholder approval of the Financing, the Purchaser will acquire 1,500,000 Shares and 375,000 Warrants (the “ Initial Warrant ”) for $5.25 million. In the second tranche, which will close within six months of the closing of the first tranche, the Purchaser will acquire 925,926 Shares and 231,481 Warrants (the “ Second Warrant ”) for $5.0 million. In the third tranche, which will close within eighteen months of the closing of the second tranche, the Purchaser will acquire 1,111,111 Shares and 277,778 Warrants (the “ Third Warrant ”) for $10.0 million. Each of the Warrants will be immediately exercisable upon issuance, will expire five years after issuance and will have the following exercise prices: (a) $7.00 per share for the Initial Warrant, (b) $10.80 per share for the Second Warrant and (c) $18.00 per share for the Third Warrant.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Company. In addition, the Company agreed: (i) that the Purchaser will have the right to appoint four persons to the Company’s board of directors, subject to adjustment based on the Purchaser’s ownership percentage of the Company, and (ii) to provide the Purchaser with a right to participate in 50% (or 100% if shares are to be issued for less than $3.50 per share) of any future financings pursued by the Company within 12 months from the closing of the third tranche of the Financing. The Purchaser agreed that, subsequent to the closing of the first tranche of the Financing, it will assist the Company in: utilizing its food technologies in the Company’s existing and future products, finding suitable manufacturing partners in China, locating suitable acquisition targets in China and setting up a subsidiary in China. Furthermore, until the closing of the third tranche, the Company will not take certain actions, including issuing shares (except for certain permitted issuances) or appointing new officers and directors, without the Purchaser’s consent.

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement (the “ Distribution Agreement ”) with RENS Agriculture Science & Technology Co. Ltd., the parent company of the Purchaser (“ RENS Agriculture ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company will supply product for RENS Agriculture’s exclusive distribution in China (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and all countries in Southeast Asia in exchange for payment terms to be mutually agreed upon the conclusion of a market study and trial sale.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing to fund its working capital, product development and marketing, research and development and other general corporate purposes. The Company intends to hold a special meeting of its stockholders at the earliest practicable date to obtain stockholder approval of the Financing. The first closing of the Financing is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2016, subject to stockholder approval of the Financing and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

 

On December 17, 2015, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $575,000 (the “ Note ”) to Gan Ren, a related party of RENS Agriculture, to provide short-term funding to the Company prior to the closing of the Financing. The Note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and matures (the “ Maturity Date ”) one year from the date of issuance.  On the Maturity Date, the Note and any accrued interest thereon will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at $2.75 per share (the “ Conversion Price ”) unless earlier converted. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the holder of the Note may convert the Note and any accrued interest into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price. If the Company consummates the first tranche of the Financing prior to the Maturity Date, then, so long as the price of the Common Stock is at or above $2.75 per share, the Company may elect to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest due under the Note into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and combinations. The Note includes standard events of default including non-payment of the principal or accrued interest due on the Notes. Upon an event of default, all obligations under the Note will become due and payable.

d)              Holder’s Exercise Limitations .  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other  Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2(d) shall not be applicable so long as the Holder beneficially owns in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation without giving effect to the exercise of any portion of this Warrant.

  

Section 3.               Certain Adjustments .

 

a)             Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.

 

  3  

 

  

b)               Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

c)               Notice to Holder .

 

i.                Adjustment to Exercise Price .

g)              Nonwaiver and Expenses .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

h)              Notices .  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

i)               Limitation of Liability .  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

j)                Remedies .  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to seek specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k)               Successors and Assigns .  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Principal Amount: $575,000 Issue Date : December 17, 2015

 

MYOS Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), for value received, promises to pay to the order of Gan Ren or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), the principal sum of Five Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($575,000) plus simple interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, or such lesser rate of interest as may be required by applicable laws regulating the legal rate of interest, on the Maturity Date (defined below), to the extent the principal and interest have not previously been converted into common stock of the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

1.            Maturity . This Note shall mature automatically and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with all interest accrued under this Note, shall be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price (as defined below), on the date that is one (1) year from the Issuance Date set forth above (the “ Maturity Date ”) unless this Note, prior to such date, has been converted into shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

2.            Payment of Principal and Interest . Interest on the Note shall accrue, beginning from the date of issuance, at an interest rate of 8% per annum (the “ Interest Rate ”) and shall accrue until the Note is converted or the Maturity Date. All payments are to be made at the address of Holder set forth under Section 17(i) of this Note or at such other place as Holder designates to the Company in writing. Interest under this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year.

 

3.            Prepayment . Subject to conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 5, this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time by the Company prior to the Maturity Date, without penalty. Any prepayment shall be first applied against any accrued and unpaid interest and then to reduce the amount of principal due under this Note. In the event of a prepayment, the Holder will have the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest owing under this Note, in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable restricted shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price (defined below), pursuant to Section 5.

 

4.            Waiver of Presentment . The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereunder, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission as or with respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder.

 

5.            Conversion of Note . This Note may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company (the “ Conversion Shares ”) as set forth below.

 

a. Conversion by the Holder. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest owing under this Note, in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable restricted shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price. The number of such shares of common stock that Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, upon such conversion shall be determined by dividing the amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest under this Note so being converted by the Conversion Price, with interest computed as of the Voluntary Conversion Date (defined below). The Holder’s election to convert this Note, in whole or in part, shall be irrevocable.

 

 

 

     
    The Holder shall exercise its right of conversion by forwarding the original Note, together with a Notice of Conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, signed by the Holder, to the Company to notify the Company that the Holder is exercising its right to convert all or part of the unpaid principal and accrued interest due under this Note into restricted shares of common stock of the Company. The effective date of the conversion pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be the date the Company receives the Notice of Conversion or the original Note (or if the original Note has been lost or destroyed, an affidavit of Holder certifying to such loss or destruction), whichever is later (such later date, being referred to herein as the “ Voluntary Conversion Date ”). Within five (5) business days of the Voluntary Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares due to the Holder.

 

b. Conversion by the Company. If the Company consummates any portion of a financing with RENS Technology Inc. (the “ Financing ”) prior to the Maturity Date, then, so long as the price of the common stock is at or above $2.75 per share, the Company may elect to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest owing under this Note, in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price. The number of such shares of common stock that Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, upon such conversion shall be determined by dividing the amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest under this Note so being converted by the Conversion Price, with interest computed as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (defined below). The Company’s election to convert this Note, in whole or in part, shall be irrevocable.
     
    The Company shall exercise its right of conversion by forwarding: (i) a Notice of Conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to the Holder, notifying the Holder that the Company is exercising its right to convert this Note into shares of common stock of the Company and the effective date of conversion (the “ Mandatory Conversion Date ”), which Mandatory Conversion Date shall be the closing date of the Financing and (ii) the certificate for the number of shares due to the Holder. The Holder agrees to use its best efforts to return the original Note (or if the original Note has been lost or destroyed, to provide an affidavit certifying to such loss or destruction) to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the Notice of Conversion. Following the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Note or any portion thereof that was converted pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be deemed void and of no further force or effect.

 

c. Conversion Price. Subject to adjustment as provided below, the “ Conversion Price ” shall equal $2.75 per share.

 

d. Partial Conversion. If either the Holder or the Company elects to convert only a portion of the unpaid principal and accrued interest owing under this Note, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder, a new note of like tenor for the remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal and interest so converted and the dates of such conversions.

 

e. Stock Certificates. Upon conversion into common stock, the Company shall issue and deliver to Holder, or to Holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates representing the number of restricted shares of common stock to which Holder shall be entitled as a result of conversion as provided herein. The certificate shall bear the following legend:

 

  2

Issuance of $575,000 convertible note for bridge financing

Appointment of K. Bryce Toussaint as Chief Executive Officer
Expansion of biotherapeutic research and development program

 

CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ -- (Marketwired) – 12/17/15 -- MYOS Corporation ("MYOS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MYOS), an emerging biotherapeutics and bionutrition company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of products that improve human muscle health and performance, announced today that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with RENS Technology Inc. (the “Investor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RENS Agriculture Science & Technology Co. Ltd (“RENS Agriculture”), pursuant to which the Investor will invest up to $30,375,000 in MYOS as described below (the “Financing”). In connection with the Financing, the Investor will purchase, over a twenty-four month period, an aggregate of 3,537,037 shares of the Company’s common stock in three tranches for gross proceeds of $20,250,000 and an aggregate of 884,259 warrants, exercisable for cash at a weighted-average exercise price of $11.45 per share. No underwriting or other financing fees were incurred by MYOS in connection with the Financing.

 

The Financing represents an important alignment between MYOS, a leader in bionutrition and biotherapeutic products designed to improve the health and performance of muscle tissue, and affiliates of the Investor, including RENS Agriculture, a leader in food freezing technology and an innovator in the science of preserving the integrity of food-derived proteins.

MYOS and RENS Agriculture have each independently built technology platforms which preserve the biological activity of natural food-derived proteins. Mr. Ren Ren, Chairman of RENS Agriculture, commented, “We have built a strong intellectual partnership with MYOS over the last several months and value the technology that has been built to preserve the natural, muscle building bioactivity of MYOS’ flagship ingredient, Fortetropin ® . We believe that our investment in MYOS will foster strategic collaboration between the companies, enable globalization of the powerful products developed by MYOS and enable MYOS to continue its research and development activities and marketing of its revolutionary bionutrition products.”

 

Dr. Robert Hariri, Founder and Chairman of MYOS added, “We are delighted that RENS Agriculture and its affiliates have agreed to make such a meaningful strategic investment in MYOS. This investment will not only bring significant capital to enable growth and expansion of our marketing efforts and research and development, but will also enable us to build a global presence for our products. RENS Agriculture’s leadership team understands MYOS’ vision for muscle health as an important target for bionutrition and biotherapeutics products, and recognizes the global market opportunity that we can achieve through this strategic relationship. All of us at MYOS have enormous respect for RENS Agriculture’s leadership team and see its technology as completely synergistic with our Fortetropin platform.”

 

Magshoud Dariani, Chief Technology Officer at MYOS added, “This strategic investment will enable us to expand our efforts in developing biotherapeutic candidates which may affect the growth and retention of healthy muscle tissue.”

 

The first closing of the Financing, which is expected to be completed immediately following shareholder approval of the Financing, provides for the Investor to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock for $5,250,000. The Investor will also receive warrants to purchase 375,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share in connection with this closing. The second closing of the Financing, which is expected to be completed within six months from the first closing, provides for the Investor to purchase 925,926 shares of common stock for $5,000,000. The Investor will also receive warrants to purchase 231,481 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.80 per share in connection with this closing. The final closing of the Financing, which is expected to be completed within eighteen months of the second closing, provides for the Investor to purchase 1,111,111 shares of common stock for $10,000,000. The Investor will also receive warrants to purchase 277,778 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $18.00 per share in connection with this closing. All of the warrants issued in the Financing will be exercisable for five years following their respective issuance dates.

 

Upon the closing of the Financing, the Investor may appoint four members to MYOS’ board of directors and Mr. Ren Ren will assume a newly created role as Global Chairman of MYOS. Dr. Robert J. Hariri, MYOS’ current Executive Chairman, will assume the role of Chairman of MYOS.

In connection with the Financing, MYOS also entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with RENS Agriculture, whereby MYOS will supply product for RENS Agriculture’s exclusive distribution in China (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and Southeast Asia in exchange for payment terms to be mutually agreed upon the conclusion of a market study and trial sale.

 

MYOS also announced that concurrent with the execution of the securities purchase agreement, it issued to Mr. Gan Ren, a related party of RENS Agriculture, a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $575,000. The Note, which will provide MYOS with short-term funding prior to the closing of the Financing, matures one year from issuance and automatically converts into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.75 per share at maturity. The interest rate on the Note is 8% per annum. The Note can be voluntarily converted by the holder of the Note prior to maturity and the Company may convert the Note following the consummation of the first closing of the Financing if the common stock price is at or above $2.75.

 

MYOS also announced the appointment of K. Bryce Toussaint as its Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Toussaint has over 15 years of experience as a management and finance leader, focusing on all aspects of corporate finance, internal audit (financial, operational, compliance, IT), operational effectiveness, profit/performance enhancement, team building, and project management. Since June 2000, he has provided accounting and business consulting services, including consulting on mergers and acquisitions and SEC compliance. From July 2015 to September 2015, he served as interim president of VGTel, Inc. (OTC:VGTL). Mr. Toussaint built the foundation of his career at KPMG LLP, where he served both foreign and domestic registrants with reporting, mergers and acquisitions, and other capital market engagements from August 1996 to June 2000. He also built a successful practice assisting colleges and universities with various process improvement and compliance initiatives. He has also consulted with numerous start-up businesses, developing their management teams, accounting and reporting structure, and providing strategic and operational expertise. Mr. Toussaint has also helped such firms raise equity and debt financing, generally serving in an interim management capacity. Mr. Toussaint served as a director with NextGen Healthcare Solutions, LLC, a privately-held healthcare services company, from January 2012 to April 2012, as a director with Continewity LLC, a privately-held consulting firm, from December 2010 to November 2012, and as a director with Swordfish Financial, Inc., a public company, from December 2012 through January 2014. Mr. Toussaint graduated from Louisiana State University with a BS in Accountancy and received an MBA from Louisiana State University. Mr. Toussaint is a licensed certified public accountant in Texas.

 

Dr. Hariri commented on the appointment of K. Bryce Toussaint as CEO, “I have gotten to know Mr. Toussaint over the last six months and have been truly impressed by his abilities as an executive, his appreciation for MYOS’ business model grounded in bionutrition and biotherapeutics, and his solutions-oriented management style, which are very valuable in fast-moving, entrepreneurial companies. I am confident that Mr. Toussaint will provide MYOS with dynamic leadership to support our ambitious business objectives.”
