Aims to Install an Independent Slate and Legendary CEO Committed to Abandoning the Blocked Nippon Deal, Collecting the $565 Million Breakup Fee and Making U.S. Steel Great Again in the Public Market

Expresses Concern About the Board and Mr. Burritt Continuing to Devote Immense Resources to Litigation Despite Legal Headwind
