Matthews International Corporation has issued a statement disagreeing with Institutional Shareholder Services’ recommendation, which favors Barington’s positions. ISS did not provide substantive analysis of Barington’s plans or nominees, and Matthews believes Barington’s nominees lack relevant skills and new ideas. The Board has taken actions to benefit shareholders, including developing the Memorialization segment and announcing a strategic disposition of the SGK business. A victory against Tesla in arbitration will allow Matthews to resume marketing its DBE solutions. GAMCO Asset Management, a top shareholder, supports Matthews’ director nominees. Your vote is important, so vote for Matthews’ nominees on the WHITE proxy card.
