Net Element Releases Open Letter to Shareholders
Newly named CEO, Oleg Firer outlines strategy and executive direction for growth
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Net Element International (NASDAQ: NETE), a technology-driven group specializing in electronic commerce and mobile payment processing, releases the following letter to Shareholders from the Company's CEO, Oleg Firer:
Dear Net Element Shareholders,
It's a pleasure to write my first letter to you as Net Element's Chief Executive Officer.
As CEO, my primary responsibility is to deliver shareholder value and to ensure the ongoing success of our company. Additionally, my charge is to keep shareholders abreast of new developments, challenges and opportunities. These are roles that I am honored and humbled to have. Our management team is constantly reminded of your enduring support, and I wish to personally thank you for your patience, open-mindedness and commitment that has been, and will continue to be, essential to Net Element's success in the months and years ahead.
Our goal is to build the leading mobile payments, transaction processing and electronic content monetization company. We believe that the forecasted increase in the use of mobile phones and non-cash forms of payments at the point-of-sale, combined with our sales and marketing approaches will continue to present the company with significant growth opportunities in the U.S., Russia and emerging countries. Additionally, we intend to further develop and continue to grow Net Element's content monetization business. Although we intend to continue to pursue organic growth, we may also expand our customer base or gain access to other target markets by strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies.
I am fully aware that the delivery of positive results is the ultimate measuring stick of any company, and I am confident that 2013 is the year we will deliver results. You will see strategic relationships, further commercialization and a more transparent company; you will also see a driven management team with a dedicated pursuit of creating shareholder value. We know that the company's success is not only dependent on internal management and we appreciate the support of our partners, customers and shareholders. With your continued support, we will relentlessly endeavor towards turning innovation into convention, technology into profitability, and vision into reality. Our entire management team will work tirelessly to keep you informed, engaged, and proud to be a Net Element shareholder.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead this great company.
Warm Regards,
Oleg Firer
Chief Executive Officer
