Ingles Markets has appointed Kevin Hefner to its board, named him to the audit committee and appointed him chair of the compensation and governance committee; his term runs until the 2027 annual meeting or until a successor is elected. The board simultaneously adopted revised and restated bylaws that update procedures for annual meetings, board nominees, removal, the introduction of an Executive Chairman, conflict-of-interest provisions, an exclusive forum and electronic communications. Deadlines for shareholder proposals and nominations were adjusted because the 2027 annual meeting was moved up; the changes are based on a recent SEC filing. » Więcej na de.investing.com

Ingles Markets disputes Summer Road's claims about a large undeveloped real estate portfolio, saying the actual acreage is less than one-third of the alleged 1,800 acres. Of 29 cited parcels, 17 are earmarked for potential future development and 12 for sale, ground lease or project-specific development; the carrying value of these properties is under 5% of net property, plant and equipment. The company calls a proposed split into an operator and a real estate company value-destroying, emphasizes its strong balance-sheet metric and 40 years of dividend payments, urges shareholders to support its board nominees, and plans to reopen stores closed by hurricane damage in 2026. » Więcej na de.investing.com
