Carl Icahn says Illumina directors demanded extra insurance for Grail deal
Carl Icahn has alleged Illumina directors demanded the company buy them extra personal liability insurance before they agreed to close its $8bn purchase of cancer screening company Grail against the wishes of regulators. Icahn has engaged in a proxy battle with the company over what he describes as its “disastrous” acquisition of Grail in August 2021.
