CLEVELAND, May 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ancora Advisors LLC announced today that it has sent a letter to the Board of Directors of Hill International, Inc. (NYSE: HIL) stating Ancora's belief that the board should hire an investment banker to conduct a strategic alternatives review.  The letter, written by Ancora's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman Mr. Fred DiSanto, states that Ancora believes the acquisition value of HIL today is materially in excess of the present value of a successful turnaround of the Company.  Ancora argued that the Board's previously disclosed objective of conducting a search for a permanent CEO should be accompanied by a strategic alternatives review.
