PROXY Governance Inc. Endorses All Nine SM&A Directors in May 23 Election

SM&A (NASDAQ:WINS) said today it is gratified that PROXY Governance Inc., one of the leading proxy advisory firms, recommended stockholders reject former CEO Steven Myers’ de facto takeover attempt and endorsed all nine current directors for reelection. The PROXY Governance decision follows a similar recommendation last week by proxy advisor Glass Lewis that also recommended stockholders vote for all nine current SM&A directors. In reaching its determination, PROXY Governance called Myers’ plan for the company "less comprehensive and less compelling than the transformational strategic plan the new management team has already begun to execute.” PROXY Governance also said that SM&A’s current strategic plan "speaks to an aligned board and executive team with a far more comprehensive vision of where, how and why the company will transform itself and the markets in which it competes.” Myers has been seeking to effectively regain control of the company via board seats for himself and three of his friends at SM&A’s May 23 annual meeting. Myers was forced to retire from the company last year due to performance-related issues when the current board declined to renew his contract. Earlier today, SM&A announced its directors had received an unsolicited letter from the company’s most senior proposal managers expressing "unqualified support” for the company’s current directors and its leadership team headed by Cathy McCarthy, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased that both PROXY Governance and Glass Lewis have now recognized the valuable contribution our current board members make and the strength of our strategic plan, as well as the arguments we and our employees have put forth that our stockholders should reject Myers’ transparent, self-serving efforts,” said SM&A Chairman Dwight L. Hanger. We urge you to Vote your White Proxy Card today to re-elect your current Board and empower them to continue to guide SM&A to future success.
