Potential Conflicts / RED FLAGS
- Preferred Director structure: Holtz is a Preferred Director not elected by common stockholders; appointment rights tied to Series A investors via Prettybrook affiliates may reduce common shareholder influence .
- Investor interlocks: Holtz’s executive role at Provco, LLC alongside Provco’s sizable holdings in DYNT creates perceived conflicts; the proxy notes he lacks sole voting/dispositive power over Provco’s shares, but influence is still material .
- Board observer relationship: Stuart M. Essig serves as Board observer and is the spouse of the independent Chair; while disclosed, this family relationship with a significant shareholder may raise concerns about influence dynamics .

- No director stock ownership guidelines disclosed; inability to assess guideline compliance (no guidelines mentioned in director section).
-
Process Safeguards
