Analysis · SEER · Industrial Applications And Services
Just days before the July 28 annual meeting, Glass Lewis has become the second major proxy advisory firm to recommend that shareholders vote for two of the Radoff-JEC Group's nominees and against key incumbents, citing prolonged underperformance and governance concerns. This follows a similar recommendation from ISS last week, significantly increasing pressure on the board. The activist group, which owns 7.7% of Seer, is using these endorsements to argue that the current board cannot be trusted to evaluate strategic alternatives, including a recent buyout offer from the CEO that was rejected by a special committee. With both ISS and Glass Lewis aligned, the odds of a board shake-up have risen materially.
