I want to thank our employees who have worked tirelessly in achieving our successful restructuring. We are also grateful to our customers and suppliers who have been critical to our success throughout this process. We believe GTAT is well positioned for the future and we are excited about our market opportunities,” Mr. Keck concluded.
