“I would like to thank the Gaižēni management team for their professional management and deep loyalty, and for achieving profitable results every year. I would also like to say a few words about our long-term relationship with Oaklins. We initially used Oaklins in the GroGlass company sale some 10 years ago. Based on their excellent service and hard work, we chose Oaklins to represent the selling shareholders in this transaction as well. Oaklins once again performed professionally.”
