SHAREHOLDERS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MARK CHESTER
Prominent Scottsdale attorney Mark Chester is also Chairman of the Board of SKYE International, a small Chandler-based company on the verge of a major product breakthrough. This new product promises to benefit homebuilders and homeowners across the country, while increasing shareholder value.
Click Here to read the shareholder lawsuit
Legitimate concerns about the financial management of SKYE have been raised by shareholders. The shareholders have exercised their rights under the law to request a full inspection and audit of SKYE’s financial records. But SKYE’s “General Counsel” and Board Secretary Gregg Johnson has refused to permit them access to the company’s books and records, as required by law.
In his position at Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mark Chester has failed to step in and stop Johnson’s illegal activity and provide investors with the information they have legally requested.
Such secrecy goes against the basic concept of a publicly traded corporation and is detrimental to the interests of SKYE’s shareholders, its employees and its customers. Chester’s inaction has very real consequences for the investors of SKYE. Its share price has not increased and is on the verge of being delisted on the NASDAQ exchange. Unless immediate action is taken, SKYE will find itself in serious financial trouble.
The lengthening timeline:
April 18, 2006:
SKYE shareholder Dan DeSade formally requests access to company books and records. SKYE shareholder Dan DeSade files an affidavit proving that he has the support of a sufficient number of fellow shareholders to require Mark Chester to permit this review.
May 1, 2006
After being unlawfully refused access to SKYE International’s books and records, shareholder Dan DeSade files a lawsuit.
May 4, 2006
Because Mark Chester and Gregg Johnson failed to respond to the legal request for SKYE’s financial information, a group of shareholders sent Chester a letter that, among other things, called for the resignation of Gregg Johnson, the full disclosure documents and to call a properly noticed board meeting in which these issues can be discussed before all shareholders.

Mark Chester’s Business Associates at SKYE International
Below are some of the business associates Mark Chester has brought in to manage and invest in SKYE International.
Gregg C. Johnson — Board Secretary, “General Counesl,” SKYE International
Gregg Johnson, a major shareholder in SKYE International, was recently appointed SKYE’s Board Secretary and is Mark Chester’s closest ally at the company. Most troubling to shareholders, however, is that Johnson holds himself out as SKYE International General Counsel despite being unauthorized to practice law in the United States, prompting a cease and desist letter from the Arizona Bar Association.
Larry Ryckman, Director, Sundance Financial Corporation (a Turks and Caicos Corporation), major SKYE shareholder
As Director of Sundance Financial Corporation, Larry Ryckman has a major interest in SKYE International. In 1996, Ryckman was banned for 18 years in three Canadian provinces for violating securities laws through the manipulation of stock. Shortly thereafter, Ryckman’s company went bankrupt.
Also troubling to shareholders is Mark Chester’s close relationship to investor Larry Ryckman. The relationship is so close that a limited liability corporation established by Mark Chester owns a Ferrari registered in Larry Ryckman’s name.

 


 

The Questions Mark Chester Must Answer
1. As Chairman of the Board of SKYE International, why would you support the denial of a shareholder’s lawful request to review SKYE’s books and records?
2. As Chairman of the Board of SKYE international, why would you permit Gregg C. Johnson to act as General Counsel for SKYE in clear violation of the law?
3. Why are you unwilling to properly and legally call for a shareholder’s meeting where the issues of SKYE’s management and financial dealings can be fully addressed?
4. Why have you and the board of directors not taken action to stop the improper issuance of stock to Thomas Krietzer, David Krietzer, Ken Pinkard, Andrea Dworshak, Preston Shea, Larry Ryckman, Digital Crossing, Sundance Financial and yourself?
5. Why does a limited liability corporation established by you own a Ferrari registered in Larry Ryckman’s name?
