I am extremely excited to join the board of directors of Autodesk. The actions taken by the company are evidence that there is a strong alignment between the current board and shareholders on a path forward that will drive long-term shareholder value.
We are pleased to have reached a constructive agreement with the board and are confident that the addition of these directors will help create significant value for all shareholders. As committed long-term investors we strongly support Autodesk's business model transition and move to the cloud.
