“I want to thank our partner, Xxxxx, for their dedication over the last several months. Collectively, we’ve made an incredible effort to make this deal happen, but given the state of the market, we’ve determined that this course is no longer the best option for the company. This choice has been made to ensure zTrip is in the greatest possible position to carry out its long-term strategic goals and capitalize on growth potential in this market,” said Xxxx Xxxxxx, CEO and Founder of zTrip.

“We continue to recognize that zTrip is a great company with an exciting future ahead of them, but even high-growth and very profitable companies are finding the environment hard as a result of the present market conditions. As zTrip exits this phase and continues forward with its goals, we wish them every success,” said Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Chairman of the Board of Spree.
