Manchester Management is hereby providing notice of our intent to restore proper corporate governance to Cipherloc Corporation. It is our strong belief, based upon external validation by expert sources, that the company and its technology show great promise and that this promise has been dramatically jeopardized by the negligence, incompetence, and proven malfeasance of the former CEO, Michael De la Garza and his associates and that his firing for cause was well justified. We seek to allow Cipherloc to realize its potential and put in place the management, structure, and employees it needs to succeed beginning with the removal of Michael De La Garza from the board of directors and any role at the company.
