As a result, the Goldfinch Foundation is prepared to exercise all rights and remedies available under the applicable agreements and laws to protect the interests of Senior Pool members and Backers.
Let there be no ambiguity: Lend East’s ongoing failure to meet its obligations has left the Goldfinch Foundation with no alternative but to pursue remedial legal action.
