Masimo: ‘Confidential Informants’ Allege Koffey Has Breached His Fiduciary Duties as a Director
Almost exactly one week ago, Masimo and its Board of Directors filed a lawsuit against Politan Capital Management in which it alleged Politan’s proxy materials contained material misrepresentations and asked the court to order the activist investor to correct them. The company also delayed its upcoming annual stockholders meeting from July to September. Two days after that, Politan responded with a countersuit in which it asked the court to order Masimo to hold its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as soon as possible.
Now Politan has taken the unusual step of publishing Masimo’s lawsuit against them and providing it to all Masimo stockholders. The Masimo suit, which has some outrageous claims against Politan and particularly CIO Quentin Koffey, is being provided by a confident Koffey who believes investors will see it for what he says it is…a desperate attempt to stop the investor vote for independent directors.
