I hope the extract below will answer your question and also address any specious concerns about Leckrone discussing the MMP Portfolio at Shareholder Meetings, instead of the BoD:

7.6 Public Announcements. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Termination Date or the termination of the Commercialization Agreement, TPL and Patriot agree to consult with each other before (a) issuing any press release,
(b) making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, with respect to the consideration to be paid pursuant to this Agreement or any license agreement pursuant to the Commercialization Agreement),

As can be readily seen, to remain in compliance with the Agreement it was far easier to allow Leckrone the floor on all matters MMP Portfolio.

Unless, it is being suggested that the BoD and Leckrone should have consulted with each other during the meeting, and upon a mutually agreeable response, returned to the meeting for a BoD member to give the reply?
