ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: MLNK) intends to waste at least $2.6 million of stockholder money - YOUR money - to entrench themselves. Unfortunately, this move is not surprising considering how richly the Board pays themselves and its management. So it is no wonder that they will spend an incredible amount of money to retain their positions. It is clear to Peerless Systems that this Board has no shame. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE.
Consider the following:
Instead, the Board and management continue to do the two things they are good at, which is to make misleading statements and unfulfilled promises to win your support and to spend stockholder money that is not in the best interest of stockholders.
We immediately call upon the ModusLink Board to disclose and provide an exact accounting on how they are spending the $2.6 million, which is an unconscionable amount of stockholder money, for this proxy contest. Stockholders deserve to know which parties are receiving such payments and why is it necessary to spend such a large amount of your money.

Consider the following:
- The ModusLink Board is spending $2.6 million to defend themselves in this proxy contest, which is 10x the amount Peerless Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: PRLS) plans to spend on this proxy contest to help maximize value for all ModusLink stockholders.
- To put this into context, the $2.6 million that ModusLink is wasting on this proxy contest is more than its aggregate net income for the past five years.
- ModusLink's proxy solicitor has FIFTY (50) employees working on its behalf and ModusLink stockholders are paying for this.
Instead, the Board and management continue to do the two things they are good at, which is to make misleading statements and unfulfilled promises to win your support and to spend stockholder money that is not in the best interest of stockholders.
