It is not clear why Ms. Kitchen feels the need to halt the Roxborough acquisition. According to the report, the letter asks for Mr. Avila’s help in halting the Prime and Roxborough deal. The report says Ms. Kitchen’s actions “appear to be too late,” as Prime bought Roxborough in February for an undisclosed amount.
