YETI Adds Two Directors Under Cooperation Agreement With Engaged Capital

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

YETI Holdings entered a Cooperation Agreement with activist investor Engaged Capital on March 14, 2025, under which the Board will appoint Arne Arens and J. Magnus Welander as directors, effective March 24, 2025. Engaged Capital's notice to nominate two director candidates at the 2025 annual meeting is deemed withdrawn, and the firm agreed to standstill limits and to vote with the Board's recommendations, which shareholders may view as reducing the risk of a proxy contest.

  • March 14, 2025: YETI entered a Cooperation Agreement with Engaged Capital, LLC and affiliates.
  • Arne Arens and J. Magnus Welander join the Board effective March 24, 2025; the Board grows to 10 members, nine of them independent.
