The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has urged shareholders of Microsoft Corporation to vote against the re-election of Reid Hoffman to the company's Board of Directors. The NLPC, which is not soliciting proxy authority and cannot vote proxies, has submitted a Proxy Memorandum detailing their opposition to Hoffman's candidacy. The NLPC's concerns center around Hoffman's associations with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his political activism, which they argue could damage Microsoft's reputation and alienate customers and shareholders. The NLPC highlights Hoffman's funding of controversial political campaigns and organizations, as well as his caustic and vindictive approach to political discourse. They also criticize his response to an assassination attempt on President Trump, which they view as insufficiently contrite. The NLPC contrasts Hoffman's behavior with other tech leaders who have expressed willingness to work with the Trump administration. The NLPC's opposition is based on their belief that Hoffman's actions and affiliations do not align with Microsoft's standards of trust and corporate governance.
