Ancora Response to Norfolk Southern's April 29th "Vote Buying" Claim

The company's April 29th press release is exactly the type of stunt we predicted Mr. Shaw and his Board would pull when their support faded. We ask shareholders to recognize that current leadership is simply making meritless allegations to distract from its lack of a credible plan and its inability to retain stakeholder confidence – as demonstrated most recently by Ancora’s slate receiving an endorsement from Norfolk Southern’s largest customer (see letter from Cleveland-Cliffs here). We're proud that our independent nominees could align with unions on non-binding concepts and non-binding principles for how underserved workers should be treated, especially in the wake of recent dangerous accidents. Our nominees have displayed the constructiveness, experience and relationships that they will bring to the boardroom.

At bottom, it's disingenuous for Mr. Shaw and his Board to chastise us for not having stakeholder support on one hand – and then lash out at us for appropriately obtaining support on the other hand.
