Investor Presentaiton
Executive Summary
• The Company's May 21, 2020 shareholder presentation, put forth by the newly reconstituted Board,
shows that the Board's behavior has not changed despite recent Board changes
•
-
The Board seems to have intentionally manipulated its performance analysis in order to claim its performance is
better than it is - eliminating the first two days of trading after the Company announced its new strategy during
which the stock declined 10%, switching to a new comparison index and comparing itself to a new peer group(1)
The Board takes credit for retiring notes that were maturing in fiscal 2019 and for ending fiscal 2019 with $500
million in cash (even though it started fiscal 2019 with $1.6 billion in cash)
The New Board's presentation fails to address many of the key issues and facts raised by shareholders
that are relevant to the important question of whether more change is required
The New Board's disheartening presentation is further evidence that more change is needed
-
Shareholders deserve transparency and objectivity from the Board
Instead, the New Board seemed content to make disingenuous arguments and manipulate data in its presentation
