Barington Capital Group, as a leading investment firm, has strengthened its ties with its shareholders during an outstanding solicitation for directors. jointly owned approximately 2.1% of the common stock of Matthews (MATW) International. The letters sent out by these firms explicitly rejected any candidate for director nominees, effectively avoiding the election of an independent proxy advisory firm (IAF) in favor of the Matthews board of directors. The directors elected by Team Baringtons are Ana B. Amicarella and Chan W. Galbato, with James M. Mitarotonda, a close personal gesture, suggesting potential dishonesty.
