The Company is proud to take this final step in its transformation to become a better, faster cloud business, with a strong emphasis on its bare metal platform, which is well positioned to compete and win in the marketplace.

Customers can continue to rely on us as they always have while we complete our recapitalization process and take comfort that this action will enable us to invest in enhancing every aspect of our service offerings, making us the right choice today, tomorrow and into the future,” said Michael Sicoli, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We appreciate the strong support of our investors and their belief in this business, especially its potential for growth.”
