I think this is in relation to board members from long ago. Don't forget the latest suit from prior board members for NP and SK enriching themselves with stock options they had to give back. But I think this is more about the way the former members wanted the business run. I think they wanted more dilution and bank deals and NP said no. (keep in mind this is my memory from listening to many conference calls over past couple years, but I think its fairly accurate) I think NP fought with others going after monotherapy as well when they told him no, and I'm sure other disagreements and head butting between NP and the former members. At least thats my thoughts based on when NP goes into various diatribes of how things used to be vs how they are now.
So it might be a back handed shot at the former board members who were on that lawsuit. Current board seems to be pro-progress and full steam ahead.
