“On behalf of Motorola’s Board of Directors and management, we thank all of our stockholders for their continued support and confidence,” said Ed Zander, Chairman and CEO of Motorola. “During the past few months, we have met with and listened to a large number of our stockholders, including Mr. Icahn, and we value their insights and perspective regarding Motorola.
