The CEO implemented a <span class="ceo-tooltip" data-tooltip="Mergers and Acquisitions - Transactions where companies combine or one company purchases another">M&A strategy</span> to expand market share.

The board approved <span class="ceo-tooltip" data-tooltip="Restricted Stock Units - Company shares given to employees that vest over time">RSUs</span> as part of the compensation package.
