On February 1, 2022, during after-market hours, ELMS announced that certain of the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements should be restated and no longer be relied upon.  ELMS also disclosed that a member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), Shauna McIntyre, was named interim Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and President following the resignation of former CEO, James Taylor ("Taylor").  According to the Company, Taylor resigned after an investigation by a Special Committee of the Board found that, in November and December of 2020, certain Company executives, including Taylor, purchased equity in the firm at substantial discounts to the current market value without any independent valuation. 

On this news, ELMS's stock price fell $2.88 per share, or 51.52%, to close at $2.71 per share on February 2, 2022.
