Polished’s Board and management team welcome the constructive input of our investors. We have consistently engaged with Morgan Dempsey and are confident that we both share a common goal: maximizing value for all the Company’s shareholders.

Following the receipt of multiple private expressions of interest in acquiring all or part of the Company, Polished engaged Jefferies as our financial advisor to help us evaluate credible potential transactions.

Concurrently, Polished is encouraged by the early signs of progress by our new management team and remains focused on driving sustainable, long-term sales and earnings growth.
