Open Letter to the Shareholders of Spark Networks SE
While these changes have been intentional and positive for our operations, shares of Spark have lost more than a third of their value thus far in 2019 and over 50% since the deal closed on July 1, 2019. It is our belief that these losses are largely the result of concentrated share sales by a minority of our shareholder base and not the result of financial or operational under-performance.
