Victoria's Secret Board Defends Leadership Amid Proxy Fight, Citing 141% TSR
VSCO has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $17.53.
Summary
Victoria's Secret & Co. has issued a letter to shareholders, strongly defending its current leadership and "Path to Potential" strategy. The company highlighted a 141% total shareholder return since CEO Hillary Super's appointment in August 2024, significantly outperforming peers and market indices. This communication is a direct response to the ongoing proxy contest launched by BBRC International, the company's second-largest shareholder, which seeks to remove Board Chair Donna James and has been denied a board seat for its representative. The letter urges shareholders to vote "FOR" all current directors at the upcoming June 11 annual meeting, emphasizing that disrupting the current momentum would be detrimental. The outcome of this shareholder vote will be a critical determinant for the company's future governance and strategic direction.
