DeScribe Rising from the Ashes?
In a major corporate reorganization at DeScribe, Inc., effective May 1, 1995 Mr. James P. Lennane will step down from the Presidency of the Company and dissolve that office. A new office of Managing Director has been established as the top position at DeScribe, Inc. Mr. John Tedesco has taken that position. He will also become a significant shareholder in DeScribe, Inc. through a capital investment and will become a member of DeScribe's Board of Directors.
The newly reorganized DeScribe, Inc. will be fully responsible for the future success of the DeScribe Word Processor.
Overhead at DeScribe, Inc. has been cut to a minimum. Short term working capital will be supplied through the direct sales of on hand inventory and the collection of receivables. The Company will immediately reinstitute the practice of taking customer orders directly, both via telephone at 916-646-1111 and, in the near future, over the Internet.
The new management of Describe will determine the future strategic direction of the Company. However, they are also responsible for its financial performance and viability. To the extent future sales are able to fund corporate operations, the new management of DeScribe will have total autonomy in operating the company, including but not limited to adjusting or reversing, any prior management decisions regarding marketing, licensing, support, packaging and development.
