The activist has escalated from a passive stake to a full board challenge with a proxy fight. Watch for the company's response to the special meeting demand, any defensive tactics (poison pill, litigation), and the filing of a proxy statement and proxy solicitation. The demand to inspect shareholder records suggests the activist is building a coalition. The next catalyst is the company's response and the setting of a special meeting date.
