GIPL appoints fractional CFO; outsources finance to Atlas Bookkeeping for $8k/month

GIPL hired David Wells as fractional CFO effective October 1, 2026, with Wells providing services through his firm Atlas Bookkeeping at $8,000 per month on a month-to-month basis with 30-day termination rights. The prior CFO (Andrew Brown) relinquished that role but remains CEO and board member, citing no disagreement with the company. This is a CFO appointment but to a fractional/outsourced role with no fixed term, minimal disclosed compensation structure, and no material change to the company's operations or financial position stated in the filing.

GIPL hired an outside accounting firm and its owner as a part-time finance chief for $8,000 a month, and the previous CFO stepped back from that role while staying as CEO. This is routine finance staffing, not a major event.
