Acacia Research Corporation Board of Directors Issues Investor PresentationThe Board of Directors of Acacia Research (News - Alert) Corporation (Nasdaq:ACTG), an industry leader in patent licensing and enforcement ("Acacia" or the "Company"), today announced that it has filed an investor presentation in connection with the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 14, 2018. The presentation is also available on Acacia Research's website at www.acaciaresearch.com. The presentation highlights the Acacia Board's and management team's successful efforts to diversify the Company's business beyond its core patent licensing business and to position the Company for long-term growth and value creation. The materials show why the Company's director nominees, Louis Graziadio and Frank (Ted) Walsh, are the right individuals to continue to oversee the Company's strategy and lead the Company's transformation. The presentation also demonstrates that the director candidates nominated by Sidus Investment Partners and BLR Partners, two activist hedge funds seeking to replace Mr. Graziadio and Mr. Walsh on Acacia's Board, have no relevant experience, do not understand Acacia's business and would not bring any value to the Company and its stockholders. Details of the presentation include:
