It's not that boards don't care about the affairs, they prefer to keep it in their back pocket when a takeover is planned.

Yeah I mean they don't seem to care about the moral implications or view it as poor judgement like some people here say, or else they would act when they find out. They just see ammunition..

If I were on the board and considering firing Jensen, I’d first maneuver to sell all my shares ASAP.

That would be illegal

By the way that is an interesting insider trading question.

You didn’t get a tip or give anyone a tip. You are not the only one whose decision affects the outcome. However you choose to divest yourself of shares by selling them, and then bring it up.

I am not a securities lawyer or an expert on case law. But would the board member be able to file a Form 4 and sell shares, before their actions that may affect the company?

Even knowing that the board is considering to fire him should fall under insider trading. Its one thing to speculate on board actions, its another to be on the board and know what you or other members may be planning to do.
