Market Chatter: WW International Faces Proxy Fight as Investor Seeks Board Seats, Larger Cost Cuts

MT Newswires Live
04/03

A WW International (WW) investor, Premca Capital, has launched a proxy fight against the parent company of WeightWatchers, nominating three directors and pushing for $200 million to $300 million in cost reductions, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The activist investor, which has a less than 1% stake in WW International, also seeks management changes, a revamped app and the adoption of a growth plan, according to the Journal report.

In February, WW said it was on track to achieve $100 million in annual cost savings by the end of 2025, as part of a broader restructuring plan that includes job cuts, the report said.

WW International did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
