Ok read it and it was pretty good read, lotta trees ;like that NZ Govt a customer coming too by the looks.

In terms of the unit sales performance for the 12 months to 31 March 2018, ArborGen sold 347 million seedlings globally, which was down slightly on the 351 million reported in the prior year, as the impact of the hurricane season took its toll on the growth we had otherwise planned to see in the US market. 270 million seedlings were sold in the US (236 million of which were loblolly pine), inclusive of more than 73 million in MCP and varietals, 19 million in Australasia, and 58 million in Brazil (50 million of which were eucalyptus). Most notably here, is that ArborGen’s advanced genetics sales in the US, as a percentage of its total loblolly pine sales, increased from 25% to 31%, with MCP sales up 22% on the prior year. This in turn saw the US loblolly pine ASP (average sale price) lift 7% year-on-year. Globally, loblolly and radiata advanced-genetics pine sales as a percentage of ArborGen’s total unit sales increased from 29% to 34%.

The new director appointed - Ozey Horton- sound like just the man for the job as RBC moves toward realising its true value.

Well, both of them being the largest shareholders, hopefully can help the company realise its true potential. Let's wait and see...

This is good news. Steven Knaset has finished his job selling Tenon, restructuring RBC and buying all of ArborGen. Well done and the right time to move on as the future requires totally different skill set.
Knott and Tandon own nearly half of RBC so are natural Chairmen for the co that should have shareholders interests at heart.
The new appointment Ozey is oozing the right experience for RBC

Positive announcement in my view

The ducks continue to be lined up. Nice.
summa cum laude - "with highest honor". In North America, this honor is typically awarded to graduates in the top 1–5% of their class.
