Lululemon rejects founder Chip Wilson's board nominations in proxy fight
Lululemon publicly rejected Chip Wilson's nominations for three new board directors in a shareholder letter, calling his ideas 'misguided' and accusing him of attempting to regain influence over the company he left over a decade ago. Wilson, the company's second-largest shareholder, has been campaigning against management since December. According to Reuters, settlement talks between Lululemon and Wilson collapsed last week over escalating demands from the founder.
