Activist investor Carl Icahn is preparing to launch a second board challenge to take control of Illumina's board. Icahn aims to remove Illumina's legacy directors and believes that new leadership can restore the company's former greatness. This comes after Icahn sued Illumina in October and opposed the Illumina-Grail deal.
