Dear Team,
I am happy to share that we have completed a critical step in our journey towards being a public company. As of today, the SEC has declared the registration statement filed by Archimedes effective, which means we are now working towards closing our business combination and going public. Our current expectation is that it will occur the last week in April or the first week in May.
To keep you posted on the transaction details and dates, we’ll be hosting a company-wide meeting the week of April 18th. We’ll also be sharing dates for special happy hours in each of our offices to celebrate our transition into a public company.
I am incredibly proud of our accomplishments thus far, and even more excited for the road ahead. We have delivered on our promise of offering breakthrough technology. We expect being a public company will further enable us to execute on our growth strategy.
We’re just getting started and the best is yet to come.
Sincerely,
Keyvan
