    Dan Ives's questions to BUTLER NATIONAL (BUKS) leadership

    Dan Ives's questions to BUTLER NATIONAL (BUKS) leadership • Q4 2022

    Question

    Dan Ives of Invest Capital inquired about several non-operational strategic opportunities, including the status of a previously discussed reverse stock split, a potential spin-off of the company's divisions, and the viability of a Dutch tender offer to enhance liquidity and offset share dilution. He also questioned the planned use of projected cash flow for debt reduction versus acquisitions, whether the current fiscal year represented a 'high watermark' for performance, and if M&A opportunities existed on the casino side of the business.

    Answer

    President and CEO Clark Stewart explained that a reverse stock split is currently shelved and that management believes keeping the two business segments together is prudent in the current economic climate. He expressed interest in the suggestion of a Dutch tender offer. Stewart confirmed that future cash flow would be directed towards debt reduction and significant required capital investments in the casino business, including a hotel. Craig Stewart, President of the Aerospace Group, stated that he does not view the year as a high watermark, seeing more room for organic growth in both the Aerospace and Casino segments. He also confirmed that while no active discussions are underway, acquiring other casinos is an opportunity the company is monitoring.
