Summary · why it matters

Steel Partners has voiced serious concerns over a $16.20 CEO-led buyout offer for InMode, calling it value-destructive and urging the board to ensure a fair sales process. Executive Chairman Warren G. Lichtenstein wrote to InMode's board on Tuesday, criticizing governance failures that could allow CEO Moshe Mizrahy to acquire the company at a price below a previously rejected $18 per share offer from Steel Partners itself. The investor is demanding a truly independent investment bank, a genuinely independent special committee, and that Mizrahy step down as CEO during the process. Fellow shareholder DOMA Perpetual Capital Management also said last Friday it would vote against the proposal.
