• Genesco set a July 21, 2026 virtual annual meeting for a contested director election triggered by shareholder Bradley L. Radoff’s nominations.
• The board urged investors to back its nine director nominees only, warning that voting Radoff’s gold card can revoke prior support.
• Radoff initially nominated four candidates, later withdrew two, leaving Westervelt T. Ballard Jr. and Paula J. Poskon on the universal proxy.
• Directors will be elected by plurality vote in the contested race, raising the odds that split ballots could reshape board composition.
• The board also recommended “for” votes on executive pay, a 1.2 million-share increase to the 2020 equity plan, and Deloitte’s auditor ratification.
