Engine Capital announced that it is withdrawing its nomination of candidates for election to Lyft (LYFT) board of directors at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders following its engagement with the company. Arnaud Ajdler, founder and portfolio manager of Engine, commented: “We appreciate the Board’s willingness to engage with us about steps that can be taken to enhance value for all of Lyft’s shareholders. Following a series of productive conversations, the Board has taken an important first step by committing to significant share repurchases in the coming quarters.
