The Savannah, Ga., company also appointed Kenneth Seipel as its new chief executive, effective Monday.
Shares of the retail company hit their 52-week low of $13.66 on Sept. 4, and are down 29% in the past 12 months.
Seipel has been serving as interim CEO since June 1. The board also appointed Peter Sachse, the current executive chairman of the board, as chairman.
