The board's rejection of a premium offer with cash-rich balance sheet signals management is betting on a standalone turnaround that has not materialized. With the activist proxy fight escalating and the stock trading below cash value, watch for the definitive proxy statement and vote outcome. If Radoff-JEC wins board seats, a sale process becomes more likely; if management prevails, the stock could drift lower toward cash-adjusted value.

Executive Summary
Seer management sent an internal email (filed as DEFA14A) confirming the board unanimously rejected the Radoff-JEC Group's revised $2.40/share acquisition proposal, which it deemed materially the same as the prior rejected offer. The filing is a defensive solicitation urging employees to stay focused on the standalone strategy ahead of the contested annual meeting where Radoff-JEC is seeking three board seats.
