Zynex (OTC:ZYXI) CEO Thomas Sandgaard has cleared the path to reshape the company after cutting its board in half.
Sandgaard asked for the resignations of board members Mats Wahlstrom, Mary Beth Vitale, Kevin Smith and Taylor Simonton, to add board members who share Sandgaard’s vision for the rehab devices maker.
The Lone Tree, Colo.-based company’s founder & CEO received responses from the ousted members, in which they cited a strategic restructuring plan that asked for the reduction of the board from 5 members to 3, according to a regulatory filing.
Sandgaard expects the restructuring plan is to right the company ship, especially with regard to its financial outlook.
