Kanen Wealth Management, LLC: Kanen Comments on New CFO Appointment at Aqua Metals

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2018 / Kanen Wealth Management, LLC (together with its affiliates, "Kanen"), a stockholder of Aqua Metals, Inc. ("Aqua Metals" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AQMS), with aggregate ownership of approximately 8.0% of the Company's outstanding shares, today issued a statement in response to the Company's appointment of Frank Knuettel II as CFO of the Company.

David Kanen, the managing member of Kanen Wealth Management, stated, "We question the decision by the Aqua Metals Board to appoint Frank Knuettel II as the CFO of Aqua Metals. Mr. Knuettel was most recently the CFO of Marathon Patent Group, Inc. ("Marathon"), a company whose stock declined by over 90% in the past 40 months. On the day that Mr. Knuettel was appointed CFO of Marathon in May 2014, Marathon was trading at $16 per share. As of yesterday, Marathon closed at $1.42 per share. We also question the decision by the current Board to pay Mr. Knuettel $4,000 per month for the next year for his housing and travel expenses to and from Denver. In our view, these actions are yet more evidence of highly questionable decision-making by Board members who we believe are over-compensated, themselves, and who have overseen a nearly 85% stock price decline over the last year. We are all the more convinced of the need for real and immediate Board change at Aqua Metals to put the Company on the right path and reverse the recent and drastic underperformance."

The graph below shows the stock price decline of Marathon Patent Group during Mr. Knuettel's tenure as CFO.
