Here's a 99-page shareholder presentation on why Yahoo needs to fire Marissa Mayer
Jackson sent a 99-page presentation to Yahoo's board outlining his case for why Yahoo should drop Mayer as CEO and find new management.

As a result, Jackson isn't just taking on Mayer, he's also taking on Starboard, the hedge fund that's attacking
Jackson's fund, SpringOwl, isn't a major shareholder in Yahoo. SpringOwl is only a $300 million fund. But his plan is to round up major shareholders to rally around his plan. He says several are already supportive.
