Industry: Financials

We are currently engaged in three areas of business: outdoor billboards, surety insurance and related brokerage activities, and investing in the real estate management business. We commenced our current billboard business operations in June 2015, our surety insurance business in April 2016 and have made a series of investments in the real estate management and related services business commencing in September 2015. In December 2016, we completed the acquisition of UC&S, a surety insurance company which at that time was licensed to conduct business in nine states. We expect to continue to acquire additional billboard assets through acquisitions of existing billboard businesses in the United States and to expand the licensing of the UC&S business beyond the 31 states (and the District of Columbia) in which it is currently authorized to issue surety insurance. We also expect to continue to make additional investments in real estate management service businesses. In the future, we expect to expand the range of services we provide in each of these sectors and to possibly consider acquisition of other businesses in different sectors. Our decision to expand outside of these current business sectors we serve will be based on the opportunity to acquire businesses which we believe provide the opportunity for sustainable earnings at an attractive level relative to capital employed.
