Analysis · BETR · Finance
Vishal Garg's consent solicitation has crossed a critical threshold — holders of more than 46% of voting power have already submitted consents to remove five directors, including interim CEO Daniel Lewis. With a majority of outstanding voting power needed and an October 2, 2026 target date, the board overhaul is now within striking distance. The filing also names three independent director candidates — Bing Gordon, David Heidecorn, and Steve Sarracino — who would be nominated if the solicitation succeeds. This is a material escalation in a proxy fight that has already triggered a poison pill, multiple lawsuits, and a failed first consent attempt.
