barrons2	DellaCamera Capital Master Fund may consider a "public consent solicitation" to amend Enzon's bylaws to let shareholders have a stronger voice in overseeing the company. DellaCamera also urged Enzon to take certain actions to boost shareholder value, including looking at an $80 million share-repurchase program, monetizing a minimum of $70 million of its royalty streams and soliciting bids for Enzon's marketed products and royalty segments. DellaCamera owns 2,881,632 shares of Enzon (6.4% of the total outstanding).	Love	July 05, 2008
barrons2	DellaCamera Capital Master Fund wants Enzon to immediately engage an investment bank to explore strategic alternatives, and suggested its own adviser, Goldman Sachs, to explore options for ENZN's remaining commercial operations, including a sale of the commercial operations as a whole. DellaCamera believes the "cash-generating potential of these businesses coupled with the synergies that an acquirer could bring are significant." It also said Enzon's decision to spin off its biotech business into a separate company is "an encouraging first step towards creating value." DellaCamera holds 2,650,304 shares (5.9%).

barrons2	The DellaCamera Capital Master hedge fund said that it is nominating three candidates for election to Enzon's board: John Geltosky, David Tendler and David Gale. DellaCamera previously suggested that Enzon consider structural changes to increase shareholder value, such as a sale of its Abelcet product line.

barrons2	DellaCamera Capital Management believes that the company is trading at a significant discount to its intrinsic value, that the value of the company's commercial operations alone may materially exceed its current share price, and that the market is ascribing significant negative value to the company's R&D pipeline and technology platform. DCM suggests that the company retain a financial adviser to help develop plans to increase shareholder value, including the rationalization of the company's marketed-products segment, the sale of the Abelcet product line, the possible monetization of additional royalty interests, and structural methods to unlock the value of Enzon's Locked Nucleic Acid development platform.
