Group of Concerned Investors in Terran Orbital Call For Immediate Separation of Chairman and CEO Roles at Company and Installation of New Highly Qualified CEO
“Accordingly, we reiterate our call for Terran’s Board to immediately separate the role of CEO and Chairman and install a new CEO with demonstrable industry experience and a track record of outperformance, who can turn around the operational, cultural, and capital allocation issues plaguing the Company. We believe that a new CEO, namely our identified CEO candidate--who, for the avoidance of doubt is not a former employee of the Company—will help Terran to attract the needed capital on favorable terms, minimizing future dilution to stockholders and providing prospective customers and employees with the confidence to conduct business with the Company going forward. In addition, we believe, if installed, our CEO candidate would attract and retain additional world class talent. Mr. Bell has also stated publicly that Jefferies is ‘exploring all possibilities,’ though this cannot be true without engaging with our CEO candidate and the Concerned Investor Group.
- However, the events over the past 24 hours have made it abundantly clear to us that Marc Bell is not fit to be CEO of Terran.
- Later that day, in an all-employee meeting, Mr. Bell stated, as reported by TechCrunch, that the Company was indeed not for sale.
- Mr. Bell has also stated publicly that Jefferies is ‘exploring all possibilities,’ though this cannot be true without engaging with our CEO candidate and the Concerned Investor Group.
- The company recently sued one of the Sophis idiots and we will be suing them all in due course.
