Anderson went on to say, "during my stay in Tulsa last week we made fantastic progress in all areas concerning Corporate Vision. I went to Tulsa with the intention of preparing CVIA for a merger with a larger company, as we reviewed the CVIA and spoke with potential merger candidates, it became clear that it is not in CVIA's best interests to proceed with individual merger talks. Based on existing business models, CVIA has all the tools in place and expertise of the new Board of Directors needed to become a holding company. As we re-approached our merger candidates we found they were even more enthusiastic with the holding company concept as opposed to a direct merger with CVIA."
