The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. Research Report
On June 25, 2013, The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. (Men's Wearhouse) provided further comments regarding the termination of George Zimmer as Executive Chairman on June 19, 2013. The Board stated, "Our actions were not taken to hurt George Zimmer. Rather we were focused on what we believed to be in the best interests of Men's Wearhouse, as well as shareholders and employees. While Mr. Zimmer owns 3 ½% of the stock, it is our obligation to represent the interests of all shareholders. "Mr. Zimmer had difficulty accepting the fact that Men's Wearhouse is a public company with an independent Board of Directors and that he has not been the Chief Executive Officer for two years. He advocated for significant changes that would enable him to regain control, but ultimately he was unable to convince any of the Board members or senior executives that his positions were in the best interests of employees, shareholders or the company's future." The Board stated that the best course of action was to reaffirm its support for its CEO Doug Ewert, the senior management team, the shareholders, and the employees of the Company.
