"Alden argues Junck and Moloney have served for more than 20 
year, and are responsible for Lee's "significant 
underperformance" since its acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway's 
BH Media Group.

Alden also took aim at a letter Lee sent to shareholders on 
Monday, which said, in part, "A “Vulture Hedge Fund” is seeking

misleading and disparaging rhetoric about our intentions for 
Lee," Alden said. "Simply put, we are not seeking to acquire Lee 
at a steep discount, nor could the election of our two entirely 
independent director candidates result in any such unfair

relevant expertise to the boardroom and, who are committed to re-
shaping the highly questionable corporate governance practices 
at Lee." "
