(&#8220;Barington Capital&#8221;), a fundamental, value-oriented activist investor that, together with the other participants in its solicitation (collectively &#8220;Barington&#8221; or &#8220;we&#8221;), beneficially owns approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ: MATW) (&#8220;Matthews&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), today issued a statement in response to Matthews&#8217; recently announced corporate governance changes.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">James Mitarotonda<\/span>, Chairman and CEO of Barington Capital, said, &#8220;Matthews&#8217; 11th hour gamesmanship is a desperate attempt by <span class=\"xn-person\">Joseph Bartolacci<\/span> and the current Matthews directors to perpetuate the status quo. We believe these actions are a direct result of Barington&#8217;s efforts to drive much-needed change, and are simply too little, too late. Indeed, as recently as last month, Matthews flatly rejected our public call for the Company to declassify its staggered board of directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;).[i]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A prime example of Matthews&#8217; governance changes falling terribly short, in our view, is that <span class=\"xn-person\">Greg Babe<\/span>, one of three insiders on the Board, has been allowed to remain a director. Despite Mr. Babe&#8217;s full-time role as Executive Vice President of Matthews&#8217; Industrial Technologies business \u2013 and responsibility for the Company&#8217;s Battery Storage business \u2013 the Board has allowed him to manage another, unrelated company, Liquid X Printed Metals, Inc., into which Matthews invested <span class=\"xn-money\">$3.1 million<\/span> that was subsequently written off in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Worse, Matthews&#8217; so-called governance enhancements come on the same day that the Company announced a letter of intent to sell the remaining businesses of SGK Brand Solutions. The announcement of a potential transaction \u2013 before a definitive agreement has been reached and with no guarantee that it will be consummated \u2013 further reflects Matthews&#8217; desperation heading into the upcoming annual meeting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shareholders should not be fooled by Matthews&#8217; last-ditch efforts to hide from its protracted failure to protect shareholder interests and manipulate a fair election of directors.\u00a0 It is clear to us that only by electing Barington&#8217;s independent nominees will accountability and oversight be enhanced in the boardroom and shareholder value be maximized. We strongly urge shareholders to protect the value of their investment by voting the\u00a0<b><u>GOLD<\/u><\/b>\u00a0proxy card\u00a0<b>&#8220;FOR&#8221; ALL<\/b>\u00a0of Barington&#8217;s highly qualified nominees, who, as directors, will help bring the board effectiveness, relevant skills and experience, accountability and track records of value creation that Matthews requires to improve corporate governance, reestablish credibility and create value for all shareholders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"prntac\">\n        <b>VOTE THE <u>GOLD<\/u> PROXY CARD &#8220;FOR&#8221; ALL OF BARINGTON&#8217;S NOMINEES TODAY!<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Barington encourages all shareholders to visit\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4363506-1&amp;h=1809968847&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbarington.com%2Fmatthews&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fbarington.com%2Fmatthews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n          <b>https:\/\/barington.com\/matthews<\/b><br \/>\n        <\/a><br \/>\n        <b>\u00a0to review additional information regarding its campaign for change at Matthews.<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>ABOUT BARINGTON CAPITAL GROUP, L.P.<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Barington Capital Group, L.P. is a fundamental, value-oriented activist investment firm established by <span class=\"xn-person\">James Mitarotonda<\/span> in January 2000.\u00a0 Barington invests in undervalued publicly traded companies that Barington believes can appreciate significantly in value when substantive improvements are made to their operations, corporate strategy, capital allocation and corporate governance.\u00a0 Barington&#8217;s investment team, advisors and network of industry experts draw upon their extensive strategic, operating and boardroom experience to assist companies in designing and implementing initiatives to improve long-term shareholder value.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Media Contact<\/b>:<br \/><span class=\"xn-person\">Jonathan Gasthalter<\/span>\/<span class=\"xn-person\">Amanda Shpiner<\/span><br \/>Gasthalter &amp; Co.<br \/>212-257-4170<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Important Information and Participants in the Solicitation<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Barington has filed a definitive proxy statement and associated<b> GOLD<\/b> proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) to be used to solicit votes for the election of its slate of highly-qualified director nominees at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders of the Company.
