"Colony's board has given Tom Barrack too much deference and too much latitude for too long," Jason Aintabi, Blackwells' investment chief, said in the letter. "His continued, imperial reign over the company damages its credibility and business prospects and creates a tremendous overhang on the stock."
Blackwells added that it would nominate five "exceptional candidates" to Colony's board at its upcoming annual meeting.
