  Both parties bought shares in late June/early July: Radoff acquired 20,000 shares at ~$34.00, and Jumana acquired 25,000 shares at ~$34.00-$34.44, indicating continued conviction in the stock.

• Proxy Contest Context

  The dissolution follows a contested proxy season in which the group sought two board seats. The group's breakup removes the immediate threat of another proxy fight but leaves both as significant shareholders.

The activist investor group that waged a high-profile proxy contest at Genesco has formally disbanded. Bradley Radoff and Jumana Capital, who together held over 9% and sought board seats, are no longer coordinating. Each now holds a sub-5% stake, removing the immediate threat of a control battle. However, both parties continued buying shares as recently as early July, signaling they still see value. The dissolution reduces near-term governance overhang but leaves open the question of whether either will agitate again or sell.
