The last paragraph from Starboard's letter to Tessra's BoD says it all. Inthe past, I beleive that JS has mentioned Tessera as one of WILN's comparables:
As one of the largest shareholders of Tessera, we are extremely frustrated with the current performance and direction of the Company. We have made significant efforts to communicate constructively with management and the Board in the past. Every attempt to do so has been unfruitful. In our discussions with CEO Bob Young, he has been unwilling to waiver in his commitment to the status quo. Historically, every attempt to speak directly with the Board has been thwarted. Only under the pressure of this pending election contest have we made any progress in communicating directly with the Board. For two years now, the Company has played games with the corporate machinery, moving annual meeting dates and nomination deadlines. Simply stated, it is time for a change at Tessera. We are absolutely committed to making sure that the best interests of all shareholders are represented on the Board.
Best Regards,
Peter A. Feld
