No, that's not true. The board's job is to determine how far off the share price is from what they believe the company is worth based on their own internal projections. The board is certainly not expected to take the spot price of Twitter common stock as the ground truth of the company's valuation.

Of course the board has information that hasn't been published yet. Every board does.

It sounds, then, like you're agreeing with the post you replied to, which seems to already include the caveat you brought up
