The Radoff-Jumana Group Issues Presentation to Shareholders of Genesco On July 6, 2026, Bradley L. Radoff announced that he has submitted an investor presentation with the shareholders of Genesco Inc., highlighting how Company’s presentation uses mimi math to cherry-pick a depressed starting share price and artificially high ending share price in order to make the company’s performance appear better than it actually is – stock is down more than 22% since cherry-picked date. In addition, Bradley L. Radoff believes this is the latest example of the board manipulating the facts and calls for Vaughn to be stripped of her board chair role and called on the Company to return excess cash to shareholders via a Dutch tender offer for 1 million shares at the earliest possible opportunity. Further, Bradley L. Radoff requesting the Company shareholders to vote for his nominees Westervelt T. Ballard, Jr. and Paula J. Poskon, recommended the Company shareholders to Joanna Barsh or Thurgood Marshall, at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company. 공고 • Jul 02
