Concerned shareholder of Assertio Holdings, Inc. urges investors to vote "against" all of the Company's director nominees.
Jerald Hammann, an Assertio shareholder holding 82,550 shares, urges shareholders concerned about their investment in Assertio to vote "against" all of the Company's director nominees. Any stockholders who have already cast their ballots should immediately consider accessing their online ballot at www.proxyvote.com or calling their broker to change their ballot to reflect a vote "against" all Assertio directors. The deadline by which to do so is imminent.
Hammann first contacted the Company on November 9, 2023, after the November 8, 2023, earnings call, requesting that the Company provide material information not disclosed on the earnings call. After receiving no response, he contacted the Company on November 30, 2023, and again on January 17, 2024, still without receiving any response. In order to obtain the information requested, Hammann was forced to make a January 24, 2024, Demand For Inspection Of Books And Records, and even after making this Demand, was forced to amend his Demand on February 14, 2024, to overcome the Company's objections to his original Demand. While the Company has begun cooperating with Hammann's requests, he continues to believe that the material information he obtained should have been publicly disclosed earlier.
Hammann first purchased shares in the Company on February 24, 2023. While he has experienced substanial unrealized investment losses, he remains hopeful for the Company's prospects. However, based on his personal interactions with the Company, he has become convinced that governance change is necessary. To this end, Hammann has submitted two director nominations to the Board for consideration and is actively working to identify additional director candidates who he feels will better represent the interests of shareholders.
Hammann has voted all of his shares "against" all of the Company's director nominees and urges other Assertio shareholders to do the same. Any stockholders who have already cast their ballots should immediately consider accessing their online ballot at www.proxyvote.com or calling their broker to change their ballot to reflect a vote "against" all Assertio directors. The deadline by which to do so is imminent.
