On August 29, 2017, each of Norman Stout, Dieter Gable, and Colleen McKeown separately informed the Board of Directors of root9B Holdings, Inc. that they had determined not to become a director. Messrs. Stout and Gable and Ms. McKeown had been elected to the Board, effective October 1, 2017, at the Company's 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Messrs. Stout and Gable and Ms. McKeown each indicated the pending foreclosure sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets by its secured creditors and the considerable doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue operations following the foreclosure sale, among other things, motivated each of their decisions to resign as a director-elect of the Company.
