About EKIMAS Corporation

As a result, the Company ceased operating as a manufacturer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the Company became engaged in efforts to identify an operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction that would likely result in a change in control. Although certain opportunities have been investigated to determine whether a potential merger opportunity could add value for the benefit of the Company's shareholders, the Company has not yet entered into any binding arrangements.
