DALLAS, April 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blucora, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOR), a leading provider of technology-enabled, tax-focused financial solutions, today announced Glass, Lewis and Co., LLC (\u201cGlass Lewis<\/strong>\u201d), a leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended that stockholders vote \u201cFOR\u201d all the Company\u2019s highly-qualified directors on the BLUE proxy card in connection with the upcoming 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, scheduled to be held on April 21, 2021.<\/p>\n

In its April 8, 2021 report, which supported all of the Company’s nominees and rejected all of the candidates nominated by Ancora Catalyst Institutional, LP (together with its affiliates, \u201cAncora<\/strong>\u201d), Glass Lewis stated1<\/sup>:<\/p>\n

\n
\n On the Ancora Demands<\/u>
\n <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201c\u2026[W]e ultimately find the Dissident platform is significantly weighed down by a hit-or-miss strategic plan and a slate of candidates who, for a variety of reasons, do not clearly offer what we consider to be a superior alternative to the status quo.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAncora’s solicitation falls short on a number of critical counts.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201c[W]e continue to<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>
\n question the unequivocal appeal of [Ancora\u2019s proposal to pursue] a near-term divestiture of TaxAct, particularly given an atypical sector cycle,<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>
\n uncertain returns on Blucora’s pricing pivot and the possible perception that the Company, in seeking to swiftly maximize<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>
\n the value of its NOLS, is a motivated seller. These factors would hardly seem to place Blucora in an advantageous<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>
\n negotiating position, which could contribute to sub-optimal terms or a protracted and costly engagement process for the<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>
\n Company.<\/em>
\n \u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201c<\/em>
\n Ancora, presently on the outside looking in, lacks access to non-public information we consider necessary<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>
\n to<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>
\n credibly<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>

\n \u2026 a<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>
\n proposal [to sell TaxAct].\u201d<\/em>
\n \u00a0<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cCoupled with a fundamentally atypical state of play in the seasonal tax prep business, we question whether extant conditions are likely to clearly support a compelling price for TaxAct within the parameters discussed by Ancora.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201c[T]here are a number of issues which ultimately limit our willingness to suggest investors should support the Dissident platform at this time.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n On Ancora Nominee Fred DiSanto<\/u>
\n <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cShifting to Mr. DiSanto\u2026 Blucora highlights the fact that Ancora was recently censured by the SEC and compelled to pay a $100,000 civil penalty in December 2018 in connection with a violation of the Commission’s so-called \u2018pay-to-play\u2019 rule applicable to investment advisers. \u2026 Ancora’s meeting materials do not refute Blucora’s characterization of Mr. DiSanto’s involvement, and they seem to bypass recognition of the censure altogether. We view this taciturn methodology as fairly significant, as it seems to reflect both a disconcerting absence of candor and an apparent disinterest in acknowledging Ancora lacked fundamental compliance architecture capable of timely identifying costly oversight failures within its advisory business, in our view.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThat Mr. DiSanto himself appears to have been one of the individuals running afoul of the rule in question invites even greater scrutiny here, and works against the notion that Blucora investors would unequivocally benefit from his advisory and wealth management expertise.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cFurther complicating Mr. DiSanto’s candidacy is the fact that Blucora has openly argued his prospective service would represent a violation of Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, primarily as a result of competitive similarities purportedly existing between Blucora and Ancora.\u201d <\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWith respect to Mr. DiSanto, we would again emphasize investors cannot presently be certain his election would hold up against potentially significant legal challenges and regulatory obstacles, an issue we find largely mooted by Ancora’s apparent determination to sidestep confronting an SEC censure which directly undermines Mr. DiSanto’s credibility as a Blucora director.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n On the Other Ancora Nominees<\/u>
\n <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMs. Flynn does not have public company board or executive experience.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cBy Ancora’s own assessment, Ms. Flynn also lacks transaction expertise, a determination we consider noteworthy, given the Company’s intended focus on acquisition integration and the Dissident’s stated preference for a near-term alternatives review in relation to TaxAct.\u201d <\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMs. Flynn currently serves as a marketing and communications officer at a privately held mortgage enterprise, which seems to provide limited strategic insight in relation to Blucora’s operations.\u201d <\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMs. Flynn does not appear to have direct experience at a traditional asset manager or tax services enterprise.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMr. MacKinlay does not have public company board or executive experience.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMr. MacKinlay currently serves as the CFO of an HVAC and building services company, which seems to provide limited strategic insight in relation to Blucora’s operations.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMs. Spacek does not have public company board or executive experience.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cMs. Spacek lacks tax sector experience, an assessment we consider significant, given Blucora’s specialized exposure to tax preparation solutions and tax-focused wealth management.\u201d<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n Blucora urges stockholders to support the refreshed Blucora Board and its actions to maximize value by voting \u201cFOR\u201d ALL nominees on the BLUE proxy card.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n REMEMBER:<\/strong> Simply discard any\u00a0white\u00a0proxy card you may receive from Ancora. Blucora\u2019s Board does not endorse any of Ancora\u2019s nominees, and\u00a0we urge you NOT to submit any vote using Ancora\u2019s white proxy card, even as a protest vote<\/u><\/strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0 Voting to \u201cWITHHOLD\u201d with respect to any of Ancora\u2019s nominees on a white proxy card sent to you by Ancora is not the same as voting \u201cFOR\u201d the Board\u2019s nominees on the BLUE proxy card because a vote to \u201cWITHHOLD\u201d with respect to any of Ancora\u2019s nominees on its white proxy card will revoke any BLUE proxy you may have previously submitted.<\/p>\n
