Vistry named ValueAct founder Jeff Ubben as a nonexecutive director and two other board members stepped down on Wednesday.

Inclusive Capital Partners is a San Francisco-based investment firm focused on increasing shareholder value and promoting sound environmental, social and governance practices. It was formed in 2020 by ValueAct founder Jeff Ubben to leverage capitalism and governance in pursuit of a healthy planet and the health of its inhabitants.

In the four months since the Countryside acquisition, the market has reacted favorably to the combination. Inclusive led the charge on the merger and now they are taking an active role at the combined company. On Wednesday, Ubben was named a director and two board members, Innes Ker and Keen, resigned. Inclusive is an amicable investor that is often invited onto boards. This situation is no exception. However, the exit of two incumbents alongside Ubben's appointment indicates that there was a call by shareholders for a bigger board refreshment than just adding one shareholder representative.
