In
a letter to shareholders, the company said it has engaged with
potential buyers on three separate occasions in the last five
years and that it hired Bank of America last year to spearhead
the process.
"Based on that outreach, we signed 10 (non disclosure
agreements) and held 9 management meetings," the letter said.
The company said in its letter there is no guarantee that
discussions will lead to a transaction.
The company has been engaging in ongoing discussions with at
least two strategic buyers, two sources familiar with the matter
said on Thursday. The company has also received calls from
financial buyers who might be interested in making an
acquisition, the sources said.
In the letter, which was released a day after the company
reported quarterly earnings, the company said some potential
buyers had previously told the company they were breaking off
discussions because Turtle Beach "had too much reliance on
console gaming headsets and the cyclicality that comes with
that."
Speculation has mounted about the company's future as it faces a
boardroom battle with hedge fund Donerail Group which is trying
to oust all six Turtle Beach board members, including CEO
Juergen Stark. Investors will vote on who sits on the board next
month.
Turtle Beach's stock has fallen 33.47% since January and tumbled
19.90% on Thursday to close at $14.81.
