CommonWealth REIT issued the following statement in response to a recent report from Institutional Shareholder Services regarding the purported written consent solicitation by Corvex Management, Related Fund Management, and others to remove without cause all of the members of CommonWealth's Board: "The Company strongly believes that it is not appropriate for ISS to issue any report or recommendation at this time, as no valid record date has been set and the Corvex/Related activities do not constitute a valid consent solicitation. The validity of the Corvex/Related consent solicitation depends upon a court or an arbitration panel making a number of findings, including that certain of CommonWealth's bylaws are invalid and that its Board members may be removed without cause. The company is also disappointed that ISS issued this report before it is appropriate to do so because it will likely cause confusion among CommonWealth shareholders." The company urges shareholders to ignore the premature recommendation issued by ISS and discard any materials they may have received from Corvex/Related. There is no valid consent solicitation underway and no action is necessary - or even possible - for CommonWealth shareholders to take at this time. |
