“This was an extremely difficult decision, but we believe it is the right one given the current market conditions,” said Stephen Ehrlich, Voyager’s chief executive officer. “This decision gives us additional time to continue evaluating strategic alternatives with various interested parties while preserving the value of the Voyager platform we are building together.
