The upcoming vote pits the newly reconstituted board and turnaround managementteam at Tessera, a technology developmentand licensing firm that invented chip-scale packaging (CSP) technology for improved semiconductor performance in the 1990s and is now blazing a trail in advanced semiconductor interconnect technology, against a board takeover attempt by the activist hedge fund Starboard Value LP.
The plan should also include an introduction to the managementteam, a marketing plan, a product development schedule, and financial forecasts, including cash requirements.
