Paragon Calls Out OPT's Inaccurate Statements About Voting On The Blue Proxy Card; Says "Vote The Blue Proxy Card And Put An End To The Corporate Greed And Drowning Share Price"
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Newsdesk
Paragon Technologies, Inc. (PGNT), holding 4.8% of Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPTT), is urging shareholders to vote using the BLUE proxy card against OPT's current Board and CEO, citing a 90% decline in OPTT's share price since their tenure. Paragon claims OPT's statements about votes on the BLUE card not counting are misleading and expects the Delaware courts to resolve the issue of OPT's refusal to recognize Paragon's director nominees. Paragon is soliciting votes for its own nominees for the upcoming annual meeting.
