Concludes that Starboard Has Made a "Compelling Case" that Further Change is Required on the Board and that Majority Representation Appears "Necessary"

Recommends GCP Shareholders Vote to Elect Starboard's Nominees - Kevin Brown, Peter Feld, Clay Kiefaber, Marran Ogilvie, Linda Welty and Robert Yanker - at Upcoming Annual Meeting on Starboard's WHITE Proxy Card

Believes Starboard's Turnaround Plan is "Well-Reasoned and Detailed"

Agrees with Starboard that the Incumbent Board Has Overseen a Prolonged Period of Operating, Financial and Stock Price Underperformance

Highlights Concerns with Board Composition, Stating that "Longer-Tenured Members of the Board with Significant Interconnections From Prior Corporate Relationships Appear to Have Consolidated Power on the Board, Limiting Opportunity For Outside Perspective"
