Askeladden Capital Management LLC announced it will host a virtual town hall meeting on June 12, 2025, for AstroNova stakeholders to interact with its board nominees. Samir Patel, founder of Askeladden Capital and AstroNova's largest shareholder, stated the event is an effort to improve AstroNova's performance for the benefit of all stakeholders.
The firm reiterated its criticism of AstroNova's current board and CEO, citing poor governance and management that it believes has harmed shareholders and employees. Askeladden highlighted significant challenges, including a substantial drop in Adjusted EBITDA and the failed MTEX acquisition, which led to layoffs and financial difficulties.
Askeladden Capital emphasized that its nominees possess specific and relevant expertise to execute a detailed plan aimed at enhancing AstroNova's value. This public engagement further escalates the ongoing proxy contest, putting additional pressure on the incumbent management and board.
