MEI Pharma rejects activist consent solicitation to remove board without cause under Delaware law
Lite Strategy, Inc.
- Anson Advisors and Cable Car Capital launched consent solicitation on July 17, 2023 to remove all directors without cause and repeal recent bylaw amendments.
- MEI states removal proposal is invalid under Delaware law because classified board directors may only be removed for cause; charter does not provide otherwise.
- Bylaw proposal is unnecessary as no bylaw amendments have been made since February 23, 2023, and board has no current intent to amend.
- Board urges shareholders to vote FOR the pending Infinity Pharmaceuticals merger, endorsed by ISS and Glass Lewis.
- Company reserves the right to contest any solicitation or actions taken in connection with the invalid proposals.
