Committee for Aerojet Rocketdyne Shareholders and Value Maximization Files New Investor Presentation

-Corrects the Many Misstatements and Fabrications in Lichtenstein/Steel Partners Report

“This morning, Warren Lichtenstein will be hosting an investor call based on a presentation that he recently published. Unfortunately, the presentation suffers from the same flaws as his proxy fight, litigation and leadership as Executive Chair – a lack of credibility and effectiveness.

“We have filed this morning with the SEC a presentation that outlines a few of the most notable misstatements and fabrications in Lichtenstein’s materials. Investors can obtain our presentation by clicking here.”
