"We believe that value has been created in the brand since it was acquired by the company in 2008. There are currently significant opportunities in the green space, both in the U.S. and underserved regions abroad, and by selling our majority interest, we believe that the company can develop new operations and revenue streams for the public company beyond just managing the Green Globe brand around the world."
