Forum Report: Otelco Shareholder Survey

 

Responses to Otelco Shareholder Comments

As indicated in the report of Otelco shareholder views offered in the survey conducted last month,[1] the comments and questions that you offered for the company’s management were presented to them for response. Curtis L. Garner, Jr., Otelco’s Chief Financial Officer, has asked the Forum to report this statement to survey participants:

We appreciate The Shareholder Forum’s efforts to solicit and organize additional feedback from Otelco’s shareholders. Our philosophy has always been, and continues to be, open and frank direct engagement with our shareholders. Management makes itself available to all of Otelco’s shareholders in person, through quarterly investor calls, by email and by phone. The recent feedback that we have received from our shareholders is that they are generally satisfied with our communications and transparency.

The shareholder who initiated the survey, Tim Bergin, has also provided his own observations of the results in an article published in his private subscription newsletter, and has given the Forum permission to present it to participants:

·         November 2018, Tim Bergin, publisher, On Beyond Investing: "Shareholder surveys - an underused tool"

Pleased to know that this project was useful to everyone concerned, I will continue to welcome your comments.
