Apple has released a press release regarding Fred Anderson's public statement yesterday. The press release reads:
Apple Board Members Bill Campbell, Millard Drexler, Albert Gore Jr., Arthur D. Levinson, Eric Schmidt and Jerry York today released the following statement
We are not going to enter into a public debate with Fred Anderson or his lawyer. Steve Jobs cooperated fully with Apples independent investigation and with the governments investigation of stock option grants at Apple. The SEC investigated the matter thoroughly and its complaint speaks for itself, in terms of what it says, what it does not say, who it charges, and who it does not charge. We have complete confidence in the conclusions of Apples independent investigation, and in Steves integrity and his ability to lead Apple.
