Glass Lewis Recommends that Shareholders Vote FOR Two of Biglari Capital's Nominees and ISS Recommends Shareholders Vote FOR One of Biglari Capital's Nominees
Incumbent Directors Carl&nbsp;Berquist and Meg Crofton Have Overseen Observably Poor Performance and Significant Shareholder Value Destruction
ISS and Glass Lewis Both Cite Substantial Analyst Concern Over the Company's Costly Transformation Plan
Biglari Capital Urges Shareholders to Vote the GOLD Proxy Card for All Three of Its Director Nominees.&nbsp;
San Antonio, TX, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Biglari Capital Corp. today issued the following letter to shareholders of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>). See below for the shareholder letter in its original form.
November 11, 2024
Dear Shareholders of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. ("Cracker Barrel" or the "Company"):
Cracker Barrel is at a pivotal moment. Under the leadership of the current Board of Directors (the "Board"), Cracker Barrel has suffered for years from strategic missteps, capital misallocation, and significant shareholder value destruction. &nbsp;&nbsp;
In separate reports published on November 8, 2024, Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), two independent proxy advisory firms, concluded that Biglari Capital Corp. ("Biglari Capital," "we" or "our") have made the case for change at Cracker Barrel.
ISS did not mince words in its report, advising that, "Shareholders that intend to vote their shares at this upcoming meeting are not able to take a 'wait and see' approach, but instead must reach a judgment now about whether the current state of affairs of the company merits immediate change at the board level. In light of the factors covered by this analysis, the dissident has made the case for change."1
In its report, Glass Lewis recommended shareholders use our GOLD proxy card to support Milena Alberti-Perez and &nbsp;withhold their votes on Meg Crofton. Unlike ISS, Glass Lewis recognized the benefit of having Ms. Alberti-Perez on the Board, stating:2
"Given the specific concerns identified here, we take the view that Ms. Alberti-Perez offers prospectively critical financial and capital allocation expertise, and has, in connection with her May 2023 appointment to the board of Pitney Bowes following a campaign by Hestia Capital, contributed to significant improvements in shareholder value (i.e. Pitney Bowes TSR +168.6% between May 8, 2023 and November 5, 2024, versus a 42.3% total gross return for the Russell 3000 Index over the same period). We believe the addition of Ms. Alberti-Perez's skill set, including an apparent ability to work constructively with other board members in the immediate wake of a contested solicitation, would represent a promising turn relative to the status quo."3

Cracker Barrel Urges Shareholders to Vote "FOR ONLY" its 10 Recommended Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card
LEBANON, Tenn., Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. ("Cracker Barrel" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>) today announced that Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), a leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended that Cracker Barrel shareholders vote on the Company's WHITE proxy card and "WITHHOLD" support for Milena Alberti-Perez and Sardar Biglari in connection with the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("Annual Meeting"), scheduled to be held on November 21, 2024. The Company urges stockholders to vote "FOR ALL" 10 of Cracker Barrel's recommended director nominees.
In its November 8, 2024 report, ISS recognized that Ms. Alberti-Perez and Mr. Biglari are not the right director nominees to oversee Cracker Barrel's return to growth and stated that "Withholds are warranted against dissident nominees Alberti-Perez and Biglari.1" ISS has recommended against Mr. Biglari in every proxy contest at Cracker Barrel in which he has nominated himself.
ISS report commentary supported the Company's view that Ms. Alberti-Perez does not bring the right skillset and has not demonstrated any interest in Cracker Barrel or the brand. Both ISS and Glass Lewis, in its separate November 8, 2024 report, further supported the Company's view that Mr. Biglari's appointment to the Board of Directors would risk destroying shareholder value:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>"Alberti-Perez…entered the interview process with the sitting board of CBRL without sufficient preparation. For a dissident candidate who lacks direct restaurant industry experience, this lack of due diligence is concerning…" – ISS &nbsp;</li>
<li>"…governance practices at [Biglari's] own company, Biglari Holdings, leave much to be desired."&nbsp;– ISS &nbsp;</li>
<li>"Most notably, we believe the corporate governance promulgated by Mr. Biglari at Biglari Holdings — the governing documents of which have clearly been tailored to heavily blunt the rights of unaffiliated investors — materially undermines the credibility of his service at other publicly traded firms...1" – Glass Lewis</li>
</ul>

Urges Shareholders to Vote "FOR ONLY" Cracker Barrel's 10 Recommended Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card Today
LEBANON, Tenn., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. ("Cracker Barrel" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>) today posted an <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4290199-1&amp;h=1200077796&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crackerbarrelshareholders.com%2Finvestor-presentation&amp;a=investor+presentation">investor presentation</a> in connection with its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on November 21, 2024. The presentation underscores the deliberate and thoughtful actions taken by Cracker Barrel's Board and leadership team to dramatically increase the pace of change and set a clearer path toward sustainable long-term growth. This includes the recruitment of a world-class CEO, Julie Masino, and the development and implementation of a long-term strategic transformation plan, which is showing early signs of success.
The presentation also highlights the significant risk of shareholder value destruction if Sardar Biglari and Milena Alberti-Perez are elected to the Board. The presentation outlines how Mr. Biglari offers no substantive solutions to Cracker Barrel's challenges, brings a poor track record of performance in the restaurant space and even poorer track record with respect to corporate governance, and how Ms. Alberti-Perez brings no additive experience to the Board, has no demonstrated understanding of restaurant, retail, or consumer brands in general, and no first-hand knowledge of Cracker Barrel in particular.
