Pfizer threatened to sue renegade executives prior to activist schism, Starboard's Smith says

Activist Starboard Value accused Pfizer of threatening litigation against the company's former CEO and CFO in order to get them to break ranks with the investor's nascent turnaround campaign at the pharmaceutical giant.

Smith asked that the board assemble a special committee to investigate the matter, describing it as "highly inappropriate, flagrantly unethical, and a significant breach of fiduciary obligations."
