NEW YORK, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Robotti & Company, LLC ('Robotti') sent a letter to the Board of Directors of Acergy S.A. ('Acergy') (Nasdaq: ACGY) (Oslo: ACY) on February 16, 2009 relating to Acergy. While Robotti praised Acergy's 2008 accomplishments and execution, Robotti detailed multiple corporate governance concerns, including recent stock and option compensation plans proposed by Acergy, past unauthorized stock option issuances, and valuation and other issues relating to the failed merger with Subsea 7 Inc. (Oslo: SUB). In addition, Robotti urged Acergy to take action so that it could opportunistically repurchase its own securities and adopt minimum shareholding requirements by the Board given the Board's current lack of stock ownership.
