YZiLabs Management Ltd. and associated participants, holding 4,255,043 shares (9.4%) of CEA Industries Inc., are soliciting written consents to expand the board from six to thirteen directors and elect seven nominees. The dissident group believes the current board is in critical need of additional directors with expertise to address stock underperformance and operational issues. The consent solicitation seeks approval of four proposals: bylaw restoration, board size increase, vacancy-filling clarification, and election of the seven nominees.
