Much has transpired in the 14 months since I was appointed Chief Executive Officer, including a devasting tornado that significantly damaged our leading revenue generating property – the Wild Animal Safari Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia – during our historically strongest quarter of the year.”

“Despite challenges during our 2023 fiscal year, we made substantial progress building a strong base and foundation for the Company that we will continue to build on in 2024 and beyond. Throughout the year, renewed focus was placed on culture, accountability and ensuring we had the right people in the right places. We focused on enhanced training, guest services and standardization of daily operating procedures. Our 2023 capital plan was completed on time and on budget, and new animal exhibits reflect strategic steps toward leveling up the overall experience throughout our parks. Lastly, we have focused on enhancing our risk management and our overall corporate governance efforts, through enhanced investor outreach and modernization of our governance policies.”

“I am proud of all that our team has accomplished throughout the past year. As we move into my second year as CEO, in addition to our core business initiatives, we will focus on continued improvement of our corporate governance and communications practices. Management and our Board of Directors are dedicated to maintaining an open channel of communications with shareholders and potential new investors.”
