Tollgrade

The annual meeting of shareholders of Tollgrade Communications will take place on August 5.

Here's a link to Tollgrade's recent communication with its shareholders.

As you can see there, Ramius has set out three dissident nominees: Scott C. Chandler, Edward B. Meyercord III and Jeffrey M. Solomon.

Tollgrade has focused its return fire especially on Chandler. His telecommunications experience, they tell us, consists in "leading Rhythm NetConnections Inc. first into an 'internet bubble' valuation of $9 billion and thereafter into a bankruptcy and liquidation where shareholders ultimately received $0 for their shares...."

Rhythm NetConnections? If memory serves, that was a minor player in the Enron saga, was it not? I'll look into it later this week.
