“My fellow shareholders at Thornhill and I are thrilled with the results the GT Securities team were able to provide our firm by hatching this plan and executing the transaction to perfection. They helped us maximize shareholder value for our investment in ROSF, and exhibited brilliant analysis, industry knowledge, dedication, hard work and “thinking-outside-the-box” mentality, which helped overcome many obstacles in such a complex transaction.
