Sees 100%+ Upside to Current Share Price Given the Deep Discount ECN is Currently Trading At
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 16, 2023--
Silver Beech Capital Management LLC (“Silver Beech”, “us” or “we”), a shareholder of ECN Capital Corp. (TSX: ECN) (the “Company”, “ECN Capital”, or “ECN”), today makes public its letter sent to ECN’s Management and Board of Directors urging the Company to remain mindful of ECN’s intrinsic value while the Company undertakes its “review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value” detailed in the Company’s press release dated March 7th, 2023.
Silver Beech’s letter to ECN is available here.
“ECN is a high-quality, asset-light, high-margin business with substantial long-term growth potential. ECN provides its funding partners with superior access to market-leading consumer credit products,” said Silver Beech Partner James Kovacs. “The Company is currently trading at a deep discount to its historical valuation following a downwards revision of earnings guidance for 2023 caused by softening demand for manufactured housing and recreational vehicles. However, we are optimistic that with the recently announced review of strategic alternatives and ECN’s impressive track record of capital allocation, ECN will once again deliver for shareholders and unlock substantial value that is not currently appreciated by the public markets.”
