The legal battles between AT&T Co and NCR Corp are descending to the nit-picking level of squabbles in the nursery: in the latest skirmish, NCR objected to AT&T’s proposal to combine the removal of all NCR’s directors at an extraordinary general meeting with the election of a new board in a single agenda item, and AT&T responded that the complaint raised the absurd possibility that all incumbent directors could be removed without being replaced, leaving NCR without a board of directors – better no board than a board of AT&T’s choosing, NCR top brass is no doubt musing.
