Item 1 Comment:
The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned ("Amendment No. 2"). This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D. | ||
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On April 14, 2025, Starboard V&O Fund (together with its affiliates, "Starboard") delivered a letter to the Issuer (the "Nomination Letter"), dated April 14, 2025, nominating Peter A. Feld (the "Nominee") for election to the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board") at the Issuer's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). As evidenced by Mr. Feld's detailed biography below, Starboard believes Mr. Feld's extensive knowledge of the capital markets, corporate finance, and public company governance practices as a result of his investment experience, together with his significant public company board experience, would make him a valuable asset to the Board.
Peter A. Feld has served as a Managing Member, Portfolio Manager and Head of Research of Starboard Value LP since April 2011. Prior to founding Starboard in 2011, Mr. Feld was a Managing Director and Head of Research at Ramius LLC for funds that comprised the Value and Opportunity investment platform. Prior to joining Ramius in February 2005, Mr. Feld was an analyst in the Technology Investment Banking group at Banc of America Securities LLC. Mr. Feld currently serves on the board of directors of Gen Digital Inc., a global leader dedicated to powering Digital Freedom through its family of consumer brands, since September 2018. Previously, he served as a member of the boards of directors of Green Dot Corporation, a financial technology company, from March 2022 to October 2023; GCP Applied Technologies, Inc., a technology company, from June 2020 until it was acquired by Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A. in September 2022; Magellan Health, Inc., a healthcare company, from March 2019 until it was acquired by Centene Corporation in January 2022; AECOM, a multinational infrastructure firm, from November 2019 to June 2020; Marvell Technology Group Ltd., a storage, networking and connectivity semiconductor solutions company, from May 2016 to June 2018; The Brink's Company, a global leader in security-related services, from January 2016 to November 2017; Insperity, Inc., an industry-leading HR services provider, from March 2015 to June 2017; Darden Restaurants, Inc., a full-service restaurant company, from October 2014 to September 2015; Tessera Technologies, Inc. (n/k/a Xperi Corporation), a leading product and technology licensing company, from June 2013 to April 2014; and Integrated Device Technology, Inc., a company that designed, developed, manufactured and marketed a range of semiconductor solutions for the advanced communications, computing and consumer industries, from June 2012 to February 2014. Mr. Feld received a B.A. degree in Economics from Tufts University.
The Reporting Persons have engaged, and expect to continue to engage, in discussions with the Issuer regarding the composition of the Board, including the need for stockholder representation on the Board. | ||
