paths to maximizing stockholder value, a responsibility the Board
has always carried out in line with our longstanding commitment to
acting in the best interest of stockholders. Indeed, despite
Donerail’s public campaign of misinformation and disparagement,
which only serves to disrupt and discourage other third-party
interest, our engagement with Donerail was conducted with the same
good faith efforts as with any other third party.
Rest assured, the Board remains focused on acting in the best
interests of stockholders. Ultimately, the best path to maximizing
stockholder value, even in the event of an outcome of a potential
future acquisition, is to steadily grow revenues, profits and cash
flows as the Company has done.
In contrast to the value-creating strategy that Turtle Beach is
executing, Donerail has not offered any actionable suggestions or
ideas to improve performance, despite having engaged with Turtle
Beach for over a year, despite having previously made offers to
acquire the Company and despite launching a campaign to replace the
entire Turtle Beach Board, including our CEO, Juergen Stark.
Donerail has simply made broad, general criticisms of the Company’s
performance and strategy while ignoring the significant progress
that Turtle Beach is making in executing its strategic plan. The
only game plan that Donerail seems to have is to sell the Company,
and if they were to take effective control of the Board, we believe
they would have few alternatives than to engage in a rushed
fire-sale, which would be value destructive for stockholders, since
potential acquirors would be aware of their limited options.
Your Board has been open-minded and responsive to stockholder
input and has attempted to find a constructive resolution on
numerous occasions. Do not be misled by Donerail’s falsehoods and
mischaracterizations of its engagement with the Company.
The Board has made multiple attempts to seek a resolution that
would avoid a costly and time-consuming proxy contest. Donerail has
responded to our proposed frameworks with proposals that we do not
believe any Board would consider appropriate. The conspicuous
omission of the Board’s repeated settlement offers in Donerail’s
public materials, along with numerous other omissions, falsehoods
and misrepresentations, demonstrates their willingness to distort
the truth.
While we are serious about finding a resolution that advances the
interests of stockholders, we believe that Donerail’s refusal to
engage in good faith on its own acquisition proposals, as well as
on the Board’s settlement proposals, makes clear that their sole
objective is to take effective control of Turtle Beach without
paying a premium to stockholders. We are committed to continuing to
take actions that allow us to deliver on our core objective of
driving long-term, sustainable value for stockholders.
