style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;- The Board of Directors of Acacia Research Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTG), an industry leader in patent licensing and enforcement (&#8220;Acacia&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), today commented on the May 31, 2018 report issued by Glass, Lewis &amp; Co. (&#8220;Glass Lewis&#8221;), an independent proxy advisory firm, regarding the Company&#8217;s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 14, 2018.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In its report, Glass Lewis stated, among other things:</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:7pt;">&#32;Permission to use quotations neither sought nor obtained.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">&#8220;As a starting point, </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">a fair review of the promulgated strategy of Sidus and BLR indicates it is relatively light on granular detail</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">&#8230;.We do not consider this broad strokes framework to be comprehensive or convincing in the context of an industry facing secular headwinds and the prospective need for Acacia to undertake challenging diversification efforts. Further still, we note Acacia asserts Michael Barone -- a managing member of Sidus, alongside Dissident nominee Alfred Tobia -- repeatedly suggested the Company liquidate its interest in Veritone, Inc. in order to fund a share buy-back. </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">This purported strategy errs much closer to shorter-term financial engineering than long-term value creation, in our view</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Glass Lewis also highlighted its concerns with the dissidents&#8217; nominees:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">&#8220;Our concerns are also reinforced with reference to the Dissident nominees [Clifford Press and Alfred Tobia], neither of which appear to have direct experience in the patent licensing and litigation sector.&#8221; This immediately raises questions as to how these nominees would be expected to identify the &#8216;risks of the Company's business&#8217; or participate in more detailed discussions around long-term value creation, should the Company continue to maintain material exposure to patent licensing and enforcement.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Acacia&#8217;s Board of Directors agrees with Glass Lewis that electing both Mr. Tobia and Mr. Press to the Acacia Board would give dissidents a "disproportionate degree of representation in the continuing board room.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Accordingly, Acacia is reiterating its willingness to appoint Alfred Tobia from Sidus Investment Management to the Board if both of Acacia&#8217;s nominees, Louis Graziadio and Frank (Ted) Walsh, are elected to the Board at the 2018 Annual Meeting. The Board believes that Glass Lewis&#8217; report and its recommendation to vote for only one of the dissidents&#8217; nominees confirms the validity of this compromise proposal and the Board's concerted effort to resolve the proxy contest. By voting on the WHITE card, stockholders will benefit from both the institutional knowledge of Mr. Graziadio and Mr. Walsh AND the representation of Mr. Tobia, who would be appointed immediately after the 2018 Annual Meeting, should he accept such appointment.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Glass Lewis noted that Clifford Press &#8220;lacks clear industry experience&#8221; and that shareholders should not vote for him. The Acacia Board agrees. Moreover, given Mr. Press&#8217; abrasive style and his history of disruption in boardrooms as a "rental director" for various activists, we believe he will do more harm than good for Acacia stockholders. </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Mr. Press does not own any Acacia stock, he has no understanding of the Company&#8217;s new technology investing strategy, and he has no viable plan to bring value to the Company and its stockholders.</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;In addition, Mr. Press does not have the background or experience to navigate the complexity of the patent enforcement business, which remains a core part of what Acacia does every day.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In contrast, Mr. Graziadio and Mr. Walsh, two critical members of the Acacia Board who have been instrumental in guiding the Company&#8217;s new strategy and own a substantial amount of Acacia stock that they acquired in the open market with their personal funds, are vastly better qualified to lead Acacia through its next stage. Mr. Graziadio and Mr. Walsh have decades of experience investing in private companies and have substantial expertise in achieving value maximizing outcomes in the transaction life cycle, from identifying investment opportunities, conducting due diligence on such investments, structuring investment transactions and monitoring such deals and companies, to successfully exiting private investments.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The Acacia Board believes that the continued leadership of Acacia&#8217;s highly-qualified nominees, Mr. Graziadio and Mr. Walsh, is crucial to the good work being done to help improve Acacia&#8217;s business and create stockholder value. Losing their insights and relationships would be extremely counterproductive to the Company. There can be no question that these two directors are fully committed to the future success of Acacia, fully aligned with other stockholders and fully focused on enhancing value for our stockholders.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The Board urges stockholders to </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">PROTECT THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;by voting on the </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">WHITE</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;proxy card </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">FOR</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;the Acacia&#8217;s Board nominees, Mr. Graziadio and Mr. Walsh, who have the right skillset to position the Company for success and create value for all stockholders.
