By Lisa Kerner

Charlotte, N.C., Nov. 2 - Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd., an affiliate of RCG Starboard Advisors, LLC and Ramius Capital Group, LLC, filed definitive proxy materials in connection with the nomination of David Dantzker and William J. Fox for election to Datascope Corp.'s board of directors.

Datascope will hold its annual meeting at 11 a.m. ET on Dec. 20, according to a news release.

Ramius believes Datascope needs a change in light of "alleged ethical violations, related internal ethics investigations, and the recent departure of several senior executives," the release stated.

Dantzker is a general partner at Wheatley MedTech Partners, LP, a New York-based venture capital firm. Fox, a business adviser and strategy consultant, is the former executive chairman of the board of Nephros, Inc.

Datascope is a Montvale, N.J., medical device company.
