We are excited to leverage our strong position in the marketplace, our expanded and capable management team, and the power of our balance sheet to capitalize on the many growth opportunities that exist for this company. We are pleased to celebrate our new listing on the NASDAQ Global Market, which we expect will provide our company additional visibility and improved liquidity as we continue to move forward.”
The company also noted that it intends to seek the approval of shareholders to change its name to “Black Diamond Equipment” during its annual meeting to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah on Aug. 5, 2010.
