(&#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 common stock of Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ: MATW) (&#8220;Matthews&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), urges all Matthews shareholders to protect their investment and help drive value creation at the Company by voting <b>&#8220;FOR&#8221;<\/b> the election of Barington&#8217;s nominees \u2013 <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Ana Amicarella<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Chan Galbato<\/span><\/b>and<b>\u00a0James Mitarotonda<\/b> \u2013 to the Matthews Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) ahead of Matthews&#8217; 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the &#8220;Annual Meeting&#8221;) scheduled to be held this <span class=\"xn-chron\">Thursday, February 20, 2025<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">James Mitarotonda<\/span>, Chairman and CEO of Barington Capital, said, &#8220;Time is running out for Matthews&#8217; shareholders to make their voices heard in this critical election of directors. We strongly advise shareholders not to be persuaded by Matthews&#8217; recent incremental governance changes, which, in our view, are a clear response to our proxy contest and an attempt to placate shareholders and influence the outcome of the Board election days before the Annual Meeting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In less than three months, the mere prospect of Barington&#8217;s nominees joining the Board appears to have compelled Matthews to announce long-overdue governance changes\u2014including refreshing its Board, declassifying its staggered Board, implementing a majority voting standard for uncontested elections, and removing supermajority voting requirements for certain amendments to the Company&#8217;s Articles of Incorporation\u2014changes we believe would not have been contemplated at all if not for our nomination of directors. Indeed, <span class=\"xn-person\">Gregory S. Babe<\/span>, who was originally named a continuing director in the Company&#8217;s 2025 proxy statement, finally stepped down from the Board <i><u>only after<\/u><\/i> Barington called for him to do so \u2014we note the Board reluctantly accelerated his resignation, possibly as a ruse to demonstrate incremental governance improvement. In our view, Mr. Babe should never have been allowed to serve simultaneously as both an officer and a non-independent director, and the Board certainly did not earn the right to handpick his replacement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe shareholders must ask themselves how the Board, as currently constituted, can be trusted to follow through on any of its proposed governance changes and protect shareholders&#8217; investment going forward absent guidance from Barington and its experienced, independent nominees. <u>We believe the answer is simple: it can&#8217;t<\/u>. Prosperity at Matthews, in our view, requires Barington&#8217;s nominees in the Boardroom to help reestablish good governance, market credibility and long-term value creation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This election serves as a pivotal moment for Matthews&#8217; shareholders and the future of the Company. Shareholders have a choice: continue down an untenable path of weak governance, poor oversight and protracted underperformance or take decisive action to demand accountability and help unlock value. We believe there is only one correct choice, and we are grateful to all Matthews shareholders for the time that they have taken to listen to our perspectives throughout this campaign.
