Box shareholders re-elect company directors; Starboard fails to win any seats

:Box Inc won a proxy contest against Starboard Value after the cloud services provider's shareholders backed all three board directors the hedge fund was challenging, Box said on Thursday.

Starboard, which owns an 8.4per cent stake in Box, has not lost a proxy vote in nearly a decade since falling to AOL in 2012. It is known in the industry for having won big victories at Darden Restaurants in 2014 and at GCP Applied Technologies last year and traditionally wins more board seats than any other activist investor, according to bankers and analysts.

Starboard's criticisms of Box this year centered around the company's decision to raise capital, as well as its track record of being a publicly traded company and its ability to deliver on commitments. Starboard launched this year's fight after having reached a settlement with Box in March 2020 that allowed it to choose one director and have input in choosing a second. Both of those directors have assumed leadership roles on the board.
