NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Engine Capital LP (together with its affiliates, "Engine"), a significant shareholder of PDL BioPharma, Inc. ("PDLI" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: PDLI), with ownership of approximately 5.3% of the Company's outstanding shares, announced today that it has publicly released a presentation to the Board of Directors of the Company. The presentation highlights why the Company's current strategy is flawed and resulted in PDLI's stock trading at one of its widest discounts to book value prior to Engine filing its Schedule 13D on October 23, 2019. The presentation reviews the valuation of PDLI under different scenarios and concludes that a sale or liquidation of the Company represents the best risk-adjusted path forward for shareholders.
