Galenfeha Announces Results Of Annual Board Of Directors Election

FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Galenfeha, Inc. (OTC: GLFH) today announces the results of the company's annual Board of Directors election.

Galenfeha shareholders were asked to vote on the election of the Board of Directors, as well as two amendments to the company bylaws. Affiliates were not allowed to participate in this election. Voting began on Thursday, December 1, 2016, and a non-affiliate majority was recorded on Tuesday, December 20, 2016.

The following board members were approved for election:

James Ketner, Chairman
LaNell Armour, Secretary/Treasurer
Trey Moore, Director
Lucien Marioneaux, Jr., Director

Mr. Ketner has served as Galenfeha's Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis since October 27, 2016.  He will officially assume the role of Chief Executive Officer beginning January 1, 2017.  Ms. Armour will continue her current role as Secretary/Treasurer beginning January 1, 2017.

In addition, shareholders ratified the two proposed amendments: the creation of a preferred class of stock; and granting the board Chair a deciding vote in the case of a tie. The company also reduced the total number of Authorized Shares from 500,000,000 to 200,000,000.

Mr. Ketner commented: "I would like everybody to take a close look at our latest Form 8-K filed with the Commission. Effective immediately, Galenfeha affiliates will move all their stock out of the common outstanding share structure.  I believe the restrictive details of the new class of preferred stock convey to our shareholders management's long term commitment to the company, and forces performance milestones to be met before any type of compensation can be realized."

Complete details of the amendments and election results are outlined in an 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=galenfeha&owner=exclude&action=getcompany

Mr. Ketner concluded: "I want to thank our shareholders for their participation in the election, and for their continued support.  A lot has been accomplished in the past six weeks, and Galenfeha is on schedule to reach my projected short-term goals by the end of this year."
