Starboard Value plans majority overhaul of Tripadvisor board, WSJ reports

Feb 16 (Reuters) – Activist investor Starboard Value plans to push for a major overhaul of Tripadvisor’s (TRIP.O), opens new tab board, and is preparing to nominate a majority slate for the company’s eight-member board, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

Starboard now holds more than 9% of the travel-site operator and intends to send a letter to the board on Tuesday outlining its plans, the WSJ said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Starboard and Tripadvisor did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
