Today’s announcement validates our belief that BCOV was a deeply undervalued company. We have repeatedly stated we own a portfolio of what we believe to be deeply undervalued companies. We also stated that we have been ramping up our constructive activism. We believe this combination has positioned us well for potential additional value-creating events in the future.”
