Windmark has 20 shareholders that own about 71-ish percent of the company. So it's pretty easy to get a hold of us in terms of we understand the needs of our shareholders and there's good lines of communication. We're not looking for coverage. We're very focused on running the company. And I really feel that the work that we've done over the past couple of years, it's changed the entire trajectory of the company,. It's changed for the positive. The mission is to provide resale for everyone.
