A letter to AHT stockholders accuses AHT of value destruction, conflicts of interest, dilutive actions, and "the absence of a viable corporate strategy."

"The lawsuit filed last week by AHT is baseless and we intend on vigorously defending ourselves. This action appears to be a blatant entrenchment maneuver intended to disenfranchise Cygnus and insulate Monty Bennett and his boardroom allies, who have demonstrated a flagrant disregard for stockholders and their rights for years. We contend that the incumbent Board has irreparably impugned its credibility by once again weaponizing litigation in an attempt to silence a sizable stockholder and undermine corporate democracy.
