We are announcing our initial ownership stake in SSY as we continue our activist strategy which is an important part of our business model going forward.” Mr. Ault continued, “Given the cash, the land, the operations including the hospitals, pharmacy and other services and assets that SSY has, we believe the adage that 'the sum of the parts are worth more than the whole' applies and that the shares of SSY are significantly undervalued. We hope to work constructively with SSY’s board of directors and management to enhance value for all SSY shareholders.”
