About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Also Details Need for Independent Directors Who Will be Objective Advocates for Shareholders as the Company Navigates Economic and Strategic Challenges Ahead

Board Must Strengthen Oversight of Management in Order to Pave Way for Potential Routes to Unlock Value for Shareholders

Outlines Why Shareholders Should Vote AGAINST Four Company Nominees at Upcoming Annual Meeting

Gerald O’Shaughnessy, the co-founder, former Chairman and second largest shareholder of GeoPark Limited (“GeoPark” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPRK) today made public an investor presentation detailing the case for voting AGAINST GeoPark incumbent directors Robert Bedingfield, Constantin Papadimitriou, Pedro Aylwin and James Park at the upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The presentation can be viewed at: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/52454062/en.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210701005487/en/

Mr. O’Shaughnessy also announced three additional highly qualified candidates for consideration for the GeoPark Board – each of whom would bring significant relevant experience and valuable independent perspectives to the Company. These potential nominees include:

  • Rick Grafton – Mr. Grafton is an experienced oil and gas industry executive with prior relevant board experience.
    • Co-founder, current CEO and CIO of Grafton Asset Management
    • Former board member of oil and gas companies Gallic Energy Ltd. and Mena Hydrocarbons
    • Co-founder and former managing director of FirstEnergy Capital, a leading independent energy-focused investment bank in Canada
  • Louis R. Hughes – Mr. Hughes has served as a board member of 12 multibillion-dollar companies in eight different countries and is a financial/accounting and corporate governance expert.
    • Chairman of the board of directors of InZero Systems
    • Former president and COO of Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT) and former EVP of General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM)
    • Additional board experience includes: Nokia Corp. (NYSE: NOK), Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB), and ABB Ltd. (NYSE: ABB) where he served as chairman of the Finance, Audit & Compliance Committee for seven years
  • Greg Pratt – Mr. Pratt has deep technology, corporate governance and prior board experience.
    • Non-executive chairman and former CEO and president of Carpenter Technology Corp. (NYSE: CRS)
    • Lead director, chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee of Tredegar Corp. (NYSE: TG), and board member of Anterix, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATEX)
    • Former director and chairman on local chapter board of National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) and former member of the Standing Advisory Group of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)

These nominees have been identified by Mr. O’Shaughnessy and his team, are totally independent of Mr. O’Shaughnessy and, in the cases of Mr. Grafton and Mr. Pratt, were not personally known to Mr. O’Shaughnessy prior to this effort.

Mr. O’Shaughnessy stated:

“As our presentation highlights, it is time for shareholders to signal to the GeoPark Board that the status quo – characterized by a CEO-dominated strategy and lack of transparency – cannot continue. I urge all shareholders to vote against incumbent directors Bedingfield, Papadimitriou, Aylwin and Park to pave the way for necessary Board refreshment. Each of these individuals has been responsible for perpetuating the deep-seated corporate governance issues at GeoPark and failing to ensure the Company is on the right course.

The three individuals I would put forward as potential directors in addition to myself are all highly accomplished veterans with industry expertise, strategy, shareholder value creation and good corporate governance. Their interest in serving on the GeoPark Board is a testament to the significant opportunities for success they see at the Company. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing industry, shareholders would benefit greatly from an improved Board that would consider all strategic alternatives and address the challenges facing GeoPark today and moving forward.”

***

A vote AGAINST four incumbent directors is a vote to send a message that change is needed on the Board at GeoPark that will benefit all of the Company’s shareholders. You can vote AGAINST these directors either by voting on GeoPark’s proxy card, or by voting on the BLUE proxy card included in these materials.
