Executive summary
Engine Capital, owning 2% of combined voting power, is soliciting proxies to elect two nominees to the Board, citing the need for boardroom and strategic change to enhance shareholder value.
Engine criticizes UniFirst's leadership succession, operational execution, capital allocation, and governance, highlighting underperformance versus peers and missed M&A opportunities.
Engine urges a formal sale process, arguing that a sale is the best path to maximize value for all stakeholders after the Board rejected a significant acquisition offer.
The solicitation is not on behalf of the current Board or management, and Engine recommends using its BLUE universal proxy card for voting.
Voting matters and shareholder proposals
Shareholders are asked to elect two directors (Engine's nominees), vote on a non-binding advisory say-on-pay proposal, and ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditor.
Engine recommends voting for its nominees and makes no recommendation on the other two proposals.
Shareholders can vote for any combination of nominees using the universal proxy card, but Engine urges support for its slate.
Procedures for submitting shareholder proposals for the 2027 annual meeting are outlined, including deadlines and requirements.
Board of directors and corporate governance
Engine criticizes the Board's independence and effectiveness, citing long tenures, family ties, and lack of accountability.
Proposes adding directors with operational and M&A expertise and forming a special committee of independent directors to oversee a sale process.
Engine's nominees: Arnaud Ajdler (investment and board experience) and Michael A. Croatti (operational expertise, former EVP of Operations).
Board is classified into three classes with staggered terms; two Class II seats are up for election.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
