In a letter sent to the U.S. SEC, Gildan alleged that the U.S. investment fund has been spreading falsehoods about the clothing maker’s new CEO, Vince Tyra
is accusing one of its largest shareholders of violating American securities law and has asked the regulator to investigate allegations that the investor has been spreading falsehoods about the Montreal-based clothing maker’s new chief executive, Vince Tyra.
On Wednesday, Browning West issued a statement raising questions about whether Gildan’s board had properly considered whether “Mr. Tyra’s seemingly inappropriate relationship with a subordinate” would create “undue conflicts and risk for Gildan shareholders and employees.” However, Mr. Tyra and the female executive – Patti Lambert Simetz, who is Gildan’s vice-president, distributor sales – told The Globe and Mail that the Post story was a mischaracterization of the relationship.
In December, Gildan’s board pushed out long-time CEO and co-founder Mr. Chamandy from the top job, over concerns he was moving the company in the wrong direction and had become increasingly unfocused. On Dec. 11, Gildan announced Mr. Tyra, a former president of Fruit of the Loom, as his successor. “Digging into the past of targeted individuals is a tactic frequently used by shareholder activists, whose objective is to keep the debate present in the media and in the public eye, and in this case to discredit the current CEO and those who named him,” he said.
