The activist's specific CEO recommendation and dual-track sale demand increase pressure on the board. Traders should monitor for the special meeting date, shareholder vote outcomes, and any settlement announcements. A successful special meeting could lead to board control changes and a potential sale process, driving significant upside. Conversely, if the board successfully blocks the meeting, the stock may re-rate lower.

Neugebauer, who beneficially owns 146,516,035 shares, accuses the board of fiduciary breaches and value destruction, including the loss of nine senior executives.
