All Employees Threaten to Quit (Or Did They?); Politan Calls Out Voting Irregularities; JV Partner Proposes Price for Sound United
Every day brings us closer to the Masimo 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for July 25th…and virtually every day also brings us more Masimo madness. The proxy war for two seats on the Board of Directors being fought between the company management and activist investor Politan Capital Management continues to heat up. Consequently, we learn new things every week, some of which can be disturbing. This week is no exception as we discover: 1) the company publishes letters from employees that suggest they may all quit; 2) the Joint Venture Partner interested in buying a majority stake in Sound United has offered terms that specify a price range it is willing to pay; and 3) Politan has filed paperwork with the SEC that includes a letter to the Masimo Board of Directors claiming it has detected voting irregularities known as “empty voting.”
