This filing reveals Seer's direct appeal to its employee-shareholders as part of its ongoing, contentious proxy battle with the Radoff-JEC Group. By specifically instructing employees to vote for the incumbent board and providing guidance on how to change votes cast for the activist's nominees, the company is actively fighting to retain control and defend against the activist's attempts to elect new directors. This move highlights the intensity of the proxy contest, which has also involved multiple unsolicited acquisition proposals from the activist group.
