Chefs' Warehouse board rejects director Richard Peretz's conditional resignation after vote

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

Chefs' Warehouse's board decided not to accept director Richard N. Peretz's conditional resignation, so he will remain on the board. Peretz received more votes against his re-election than for it at the 2024 annual meeting, which triggered the company's majority vote policy.

Key points

  • Peretz offered to tender his resignation on May 9, 2025, under the company's majority vote policy.
  • The Nominating and Governance Committee recommended on May 19, 2025 not to accept the resignation; the board agreed on May 22, 2025.
  • ISS recommended against Peretz's re-election over attendance below 75% of board and committee meetings; the board said the missed meetings were scheduled before he joined the board.
  • Peretz has served as a director since March 4, 2024, and did not take part in deliberations on his resignation.
