Eric Offenberger, CEO of Vext stated, "We wish Daniel well as he moves on and welcome Stephan as Vext's interim CFO. Stephan has been a valuable addition to the team since joining as New Gen's CFO in January last year. We expect a seamless transition, given Daniel's very short tenure with Vext and Stephan's deep knowledge of the Company's current operations. We remain on track for an active and profitable 2022, as we continue to grow in Arizona, and initiate further expansion in Ohio, backed by a strong balance sheet, ongoing cash flow generation, and a team that has proven its ability to execute."
