Team Campbell Rinker, thanks for the great research process you led us through. It showed us some things we expected, and others that showed clear direction. As a result, our Board has unanimously adopted a new name to launch the first of the year. Your research results were extremely helpful in guiding us to this conclusion and added tremendous credibility to our recommendation.
