AstroNova Inc., a leading innovator in data visualization technology, is experiencing shareholder activism in the lead-up to its 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The meeting is scheduled to take place at the offices of Foley Hoag LLP in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 9, 2025. At the center of the activism is a proxy contest between the company's Board of Directors and nominees proposed by Samir Patel and Askeladden Capital Management LLC. AstroNova's Board has strongly urged shareholders to vote in favor of its six director nominees using the WHITE proxy card, emphasizing the importance of protecting shareholder investment. The Board has also introduced a new long-term incentive plan that ties executive compensation to 3-year revenue growth and adjusted earnings per share targets, reflecting their commitment to accountability and improved financial performance. Samir Patel has criticized the Board for not engaging effectively, but the Board has refuted these claims. Shareholders are advised to disregard any gold proxy card from Samir Patel or Askeladden. The outcome of this shareholder meeting could be pivotal in shaping the future direction of AstroNova, Inc.
