Illumina filed its preliminary proxy statement with the SEC. The company said, in part, "The activist investor Carl Icahn has nominated three of his associates to stand for election to the Board of Directors at Illumina’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Illumina recommends shareholders vote in favor of the company’s Board of Directors and withhold votes for the three Icahn Group director nominees. Carl Icahn’s involvement with Illumina risks the long-term success of the company, and his director nominees bring no relevant skills to the Board of Directors."
