As previously disclosed in Owens Realty Mortgage, Inc's (the "Company's") Form 8-K, dated July 16, 2018, the Company is in the process of appointing two additional independent directors that the Company's largest stockholder suggested as candidates at the request of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"). The Board has concluded interviews with these director candidates and, subject to the completion of customary diligence, which has been ongoing, will be expanding by two seats to add them as directors in short order.
