Key Points: 
  • Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (together with its managed funds and accounts, "Coliseum"), the largest stockholder of Purple Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPL) (“Purple” or the “Company”) owning approximately 44% of the common stock, today filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery to invalidate Purple’s recently issued “Proportional Representation Preferred Linked Stock,” which Coliseum believes deprives Purple stockholders of a fair and democratic election of directors at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting.
  • Adam Gray, Managing Partner of Coliseum, said, “The Purple Special Committee’s brazen action – taken no more than 24 hours after Coliseum proposed five highly qualified candidates for election – demonstrates the lengths to which the incumbent non-executive directors will go to preserve their Board seats at the expense of stockholders.
  • To seek such Board security amidst a contested election – and leveraging corporate machinations and stockholder resources to do so – is further evidence that Board change is warranted.
  • That said, we also strongly believe that Purple stockholders deserve a highly credentialed, nimbler, more engaged and aligned Board that will not only support management, but also protect and restore stockholder value.
