"Alden argues Junck and Moloney have served for more than 20
year, and are responsible for Lee's "significant
underperformance" since its acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway's
BH Media Group.

Alden also took aim at a letter Lee sent to shareholders on
Monday, which said, in part, "A “Vulture Hedge Fund” is seeking
to acquire Lee at a steep discount. Don't let it take value that
belongs to you."

"We urge stockholders not to be misled by the Company’s
misleading and disparaging rhetoric about our intentions for
Lee," Alden said. "Simply put, we are not seeking to acquire Lee
at a steep discount, nor could the election of our two entirely
independent director candidates result in any such unfair
transaction."

Alden said its goal was to bring "independent perspectives and
relevant expertise to the boardroom and, who are committed to re-
shaping the highly questionable corporate governance practices
at Lee." "
