Proxy solicitation by the Radoff-JEC Group, significant shareholders holding 7.8% of outstanding shares, seeking to elect three independent nominees to the board at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
The group criticizes the current board and management for poor performance, lack of revenue growth, excessive executive compensation, and entrenchment tactics.
Three acquisition proposals were made by the group, culminating in a $2.40/share offer plus a contingent value right, representing a 42% premium, all rejected or ignored by the board.
The group urges shareholders to vote for their nominees and against certain management proposals to drive change and maximize value.

Nominees: Howard H. Berman, Ph.D., Joshua S. Horowitz, and Luis E. Rinaldini, each with significant industry, financial, and governance experience.
The group asserts its nominees are independent under NASDAQ and Sarbanes-Oxley standards.
