Activist investor Starboard Value has nominated a minority slate for the board of Box Inc. that will pit its nominees against Chief Executive Officer Aaron Levie and two other directors seeking re-election this year.
Starboard said in a letter to the software company’s shareholders it’s put forth four directors for the three seats to be voted on. The additional nominee will give Starboard some flexibility if Box expands the number of seats up for grabs ahead of the annual general meeting.
