MARIETTA, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#shareholderactivism–Mimedx Shareholder Group issued the following statement to fellow
shareholders of Mimedx Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: MDXG):
The 2018 shareholder election on June 17 is about three issues:
1) YOUR RIGHT AS SHAREHOLDERS TO VOTE ON THREE NEW INDIVIDUALS TO
REPRESENT YOU ON THE BOARD OF YOUR COMPANY;
2) WHEN THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING AND ELECTION WILL TAKE PLACE FOR
THREE MORE DIRECTORS OF YOUR COMPANY; AND
3) REPEAL ANY AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL FROM AFTER
OCTOBER 3, 2018 UNTIL AUGUST 19, 2019—OUR PROPOSED DATE FOR THE 2019
ANNUAL MEETING.
IT IS ONLY BY A COMBINATION OF THESE TWO OVERDUE
BOARD ELECTIONS THAT YOU, THE SHAREHOLDER, WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE
ON THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD OF YOUR COMPANY.
We TRUST YOU to understand that we have consistently fought for
shareholders to have this RIGHT as soon as possible and promoted this by
our work with the Florida court and our proxy materials and WHITE CARD.
We TRUST YOU to know the Company DID NOT WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS RIGHT TO
CHANGE CONTROL NOW. Whether by their actions in the Courts in Florida,
or by delaying for at least six months a request of the SEC to grant an
exemption to hold the 2018 meeting, the Company has done and continues
to do everything in its power to DELAY AND DENY YOU THIS RIGHT. Their
blue card tells you not to vote for OUR
PROPOSAL requiring the Company to hold the 2019 Annual Meeting on August
19, 2019.
We TRUST YOU to appreciate that IF you follow the Company’s direction,
you may not have the 2019 Annual Meeting and election of three
(3) more directors until July of 2020. This means YOUR RIGHT TO
ELECT WHO CONTROLS YOUR BOARD OF YOUR COMPANY WILL BE DELAYED
SIGNIFICANTLY.
We TRUST YOU not to be misled by the Company’s fear mongering and FALSE
NARRATIVE about Pete Petit and former management, by which the Company
seeks to distract you from the central, critical point: THIS ELECTION
AND THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING ARE ABOUT YOU, THE SHAREHOLDER, AND YOUR
RIGHT TO VOTE ON WHO MANAGES YOUR COMPANY AND VOTE OUT ANYONE WHO HAS
PROVEN NOT TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE.
We TRUST YOU to appreciate who built this Company, who has been devoted
to it for ten years: who has always placed YOUR interests first and
fought for them; who created significant shareholder value from a
bankrupt shell Company; and who to this day, despite a daily barrage of
self-serving, slanderous commentary by the Company, is still FOCUSED ON
YOUR RIGHTS AND YOUR INTERESTS.
We TRUST YOU to make the RIGHT CHOICE for the future of YOUR Company.
THAT RIGHT CHOICE IS VOTE FOR ALL OUR NOMINEES
and FOR OUR PROPOSALS TO
REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO HOLD THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING August 19, 2019 and
TO REPEAL ANY AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL FROM AFTER
OCTOBER 3, 2018 UNTIL AUGUST 19, 2019.
The voting has started. PLEASE VOTE THE WHITE
CARD. The Petit Slate—composed of Parker H. (“Pete”) Petit,
David J. Furstenberg and Shawn P. George—are all long-term shareholders.
The Petit Slate is excited about the opportunity ahead and gratified by
the expressions of support we continue to receive from many, large
long-term shareholders.
We or our representatives will be calling you to discuss this important
election and the paramount importance of voting “FOR ALL” OUR
NOMINEES AND “FOR” BOTH OF OUR PROPOSALS because of what
they mean for YOU.
Please stay with us as further developments unfold, and we reveal our
exciting plans for the 2019 Annual Meeting Slate of nationally
recognized and respected Class three director nominees. Visit our
website, mimedxboardproxy.com,
often for updates.
