Analysis · TACT · Technology
Charles Gillman's amended 13D moves beyond passive disclosure into an explicit activist campaign. He now publicly demands an immediate review of the BOHA business, including strategic alternatives, and urges shareholders to consider calling a special meeting to elect additional directors. This escalates pressure on TransAct's board at a time when the company has already engaged BofA Securities to explore strategic alternatives for its Casino and Gaming business — but notably not BOHA. Gillman's push targets a different segment, suggesting he sees untapped value or underperformance in BOHA that the current strategic review does not address.
