Boohoo, the online fashion retailer based in Manchester and the largest shareholder of Revolution Beauty, has demanded the removal of the current leadership team at the struggling makeup retailer.
The largest shareholder of Revolution Beauty, online fashion company Boohoo, has demanded the removal of top executives at the struggling makeup retailer.
Boohoo owns approximately 26.6% of Revolution Beauty and has announced its intention to vote against the reappointment of the CEO, Bob Holt, Chairman Derek Zissman, and CFO Elizabeth Lake at the upcoming annual general meeting for shareholders on June 27th.
Derek Zissman was appointed as the Vice Chairman and Senior Independent Director of the Company on July 12, 2021, which was the same date that the Company was listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange.
In addition to calling for the removal of top executives at Revolution Beauty, Boohoo has intended to appoint two of its non-executive directors, Alistair McGeorge and Neil Catto, as the new executive chairman and CFO, respectively, on Revolution Beauty's board.
"However, as Revolution Beauty transitions to its next phase, where the focus must switch to growth, boohoo believes a senior leadership team with the right retail, e-commerce, and consumer brands experience is required to deliver shareholder value," Boohoo said in a statement.
