Riley Investment Management is concerned about Transmeta's strategic direction, in light of its recent grant of 725,000 stock options to four top executives. Riley Investment criticized Transmeta for the grants, which it maintains were given "at great cost to the shareholders with no commensurate value creation." Riley Investment wants to be allowed to replace the four board members, who have been directors since Transmeta's initial public offering. The investing firm also said that it intends to send a separate demand to examine Transmeta's books and records and to investigate the company's recent options grants. Riley Investment currently holds 796,109 shares (6.4%).

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.
