Deal before end of year?, page-101

Mate did you even read this article? Everyone on here is so quick to be negative. He was apart of a team that was meant to improve the company because it was underperforming.

"Given Starboard’s belief that additional representation is required to improve Board oversight and QTM’s performance, we have nominated a slate of [six] highly qualified director candidates for election to the Board at the Company’s upcoming 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”. Three of our director candidates, Philip Black, Louis DiNardo, and Jeffrey C. Smith, are currently Board members. All [six] of our director candidates are highly qualified with valuable and relevant skill-sets and are ready to serve stockholders to help make QTM a stronger, more profitable, and, ultimately, more valuable company.

Each of Messrs. Black, DiNardo, and Smith joined the Board last year with the goal of working constructively with the Board and management to substantially improve the operations of the Company in order to create value for stockholders. Over the past year, and for a substantial time prior, the Company has continued to miss its internal and external expectations and to push out its goals for both revenue growth and profitability improvement. Unfortunately, we believe that the perspectives presented by Messrs. Black, DiNardo, and Smith in the boardroom regarding ways to enhance stockholder value are not being fully explored or fully considered. We also question the willingness of the Board to hold management accountable for the Company’s performance."
