Barington Capital urges Matthews shareholders to elect nominees to board

Barington Capital Group, together with the other participants in its solicitation, owns approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Matthews (MATW) International Corporation, urges all Matthews shareholders to protect their investment and help drive value creation at the Company by voting “FOR” the election of Barington’s nominees – Ana Amicarella, Chan Galbato and James Mitarotonda – to the Matthews Board of Directors ahead of Matthews’ 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held this Thursday, February 20, 2025. James Mitarotonda, Chairman and CEO of Barington Capital, said, “Time is running out for Matthews’ shareholders to make their voices heard in this critical election of directors. We strongly advise shareholders not to be persuaded by Matthews’ recent incremental governance changes, which, in our view, are a clear response to our proxy contest and an attempt to placate shareholders and influence the outcome of the Board election days before the Annual Meeting.
