We are happy to see strong shareholder support for our existing Directors, which indicate an affirmation of Veltex's leadership and continuing execution of our strategic operating plans to create shareholder value."

James Jacob, President and CEO, and major shareholder, stated, "This past year has been yet another remarkably productive one for Veltex.  Management had retained the services of several highly respected and qualified legal teams to recover the assets that were the legal property of the corporation with astonishing results. Veltex is now moving into a new phase of our recovery and revitalization plan. I am excited to lead Veltex into the next phase of this well laid strategy.  This management team will be using all opportunities to create value for Veltex which will convert into value for all of us – the shareholders of Veltex."
