AstroNova Sends Letter to Shareholders: Board Focused on Driving Accountability
WEST WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AstroNova, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALOT), a leading innovator in data visualization technology, today sent the following letter to shareholders: We urge Shareholders to Vote 'FOR' AstroNova's six highly qualified director nominees on the WHITE universal proxy card TODAY We, the Board of Directors of AstroNova, Inc. (the 'Company' or 'AstroNova'), urge shareholders to protect their investment by voting the WHITE proxy card for only AstroNova's six nominees and NOT the Samir Patel and Askeladden Capital Management LLC ('Askeladden') nominees. The 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of AstroNova will be held at the offices of Foley Hoag LLP, Seaport West, 155 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, and all shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2025, are entitled to vote at the meeting. Shareholders with any questions about how to vote their shares may call the Company's proxy solicitor, Alliance Advisors, toll-free at 1-844-202-6164. VOTE USING THE WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY IN SUPPORT OF ASTRONOVA'S SIX HIGHLY QUALIFIED DIRECTORS Dear Fellow Shareholders, We are listening to you, we understand your frustration with recent financial performance, and we are taking your feedback into our decision-making. While AstroNova's leadership has worked tirelessly, and continues to do so, on reaccelerating revenue growth and improving profitability, we are doubling down on our commitment to shareholders and accountability for AstroNova and its leadership team. The Board of Directors has approved a new share-based long-term incentive plan for the executive team and segment leadership that directly ties executive compensation to 3-year revenue growth and adjusted earnings per share targets. We believe this new incentive program strongly connects executive pay to the long-term interests of our shareholders and increases the level of accountability for the leadership team to execute on AstroNova's strategy. The new long-term incentive plan includes two performance goals: Cumulative organic revenue growth 1 in fiscal year 2028 of at least 20% over fiscal year 2025 revenue, with increasing payouts for growth of up to 30%, and Adjusted earnings per share 2 in fiscal year 2028 of at least $1.35, with increasing payouts for adjusted earnings per share of up to $1.85. We and the management team are committed to delivering meaningful shareholder value, which we believe will be driven through: Transitioning Aerospace customers to high-performance and high-reliability ToughWriter printers; Launching innovative Product Identification solutions that provide compelling value to customers; and Streamlining operations and decreasing supply chain costs. We believe our first quarter fiscal 2026 results with 14% revenue growth driven by double digit growth in both segments is an early indicator of the progress being made by the Company. SAMIR'S ACCUSATION THAT THE BOARD WILL NOT ENGAGE IS INACCURATE While Samir Patel has claimed that the Board has not been engaged, in fact he had a conversation with Richard S. Warzala on March 14. Mr. Warzala responded immediately on the request even after suggesting that the call occur after the quiet period. On June 10, Alexis Michas reached out to Samir Patel to schedule a conversation. Samir would not make himself available that day nor the next two days showing he would not engage until after his townhall meeting. While Samir misrepresents the AstroNova Board's engagement, he also continues to distract employees, management and the Board from executing a clear strategy and waste shareholder dollars on a misguided campaign. His disruptive calls and outreach to employees, prospective employees and customers is undermining management's continuing diligent execution on our strategic plan to drive growth and improve profitability. SAMIR'S PLAN IS DISRUPTIVE AND DISCONNECTED FROM REALITY After careful review and consideration by the Board, we have deemed Samir Patel's recent three-point plan as redundant, extremely disruptive to existing customer relationships, and mistaken in its underlying assumptions. It also validates his naivete about the role of the Board of Directors at AstroNova and suggests significant overreach that not only encroaches on management but could set back the Company's hard-won and continuing progress. Samir's long list of 'ideas' to revamp the Company have either already been in place or are ongoing processes that began long before he made his suggestions AstroNova has a long history and strong relationship with its banking partners, continues to pay down its total debt and is focused on cash management to accelerate its deleveraging plan The Company has instituted cost-savings initiatives, headcount reductions, and operational improvements as part of its previously-announced restructuring and reorganization Samir's plan to put his nominees, who lack knowledge of the highly specialized printing market and have no relationships with our major Aerospace and commercial customers, in front of customers would be extremely disruptive to AstroNova's working relationships and existing contracts Samir, who has no go-to-market, sales or marketing experience, wants to evaluate customer and sales processes that have just recently been re-evaluated, reorganized with new segment leadership and newly trained sales teams, and optimized to decrease customer friction points and enhance sales targeting Samir wants to evaluate the MTEX integration, which is substantially complete at this point following the right-sizing of its portfolio, the reengineering of its product portfolio, and the successful accelerated launches of the first three of five next-generation products being deployed this year Lastly, but most critically, Samir has based a strategic sale plan on a single deal comparison of an unrelated company, Servotronics, with products that require entirely different engineering and sales processes and have a different financial profile The more specificity that Samir provides, the more readily apparent is his lack of knowledge and understanding of AstroNova's business, end markets, and customer needs. We urge shareholders to protect their investment by NOT voting for any of the nominees proposed by Samir Patel or Askeladden. We recommend that you vote on the WHITE proxy card FOR all six of AstroNova's nominees. We urge you not to vote using any gold proxy card from Samir Patel or Askeladden. Please disregard and discard those cards. Thank you again for your continued support of AstroNova. Sincerely, AstroNova Board of Directors About AstroNova AstroNova (Nasdaq: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies since 1969, designs, manufactures, distributes and services a broad range of products that acquire, store, analyze, and present data in multiple formats.
