RadioShack Comments On Annual Shareholders Meeting Results

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RadioShack Corporation released the following statement by its Board of Directors relating to the shareholder vote at the annual shareholders meeting held earlier today: 

"The RadioShack Board of Directors is pleased that our shareholders supported the adoption of a new equity incentive plan for our employees, as well as the election of Board nominees.  The Board is disappointed in the result of the vote on the advisory proposal to ratify executive compensation.  We believe this outcome reflects the Company's 2012 financial performance as well as one-time payments required to be made by contract in connection with recent management changes.  We will review our executive compensation arrangements and approach in light of the shareholder vote.  We would also note that we have recently brought on board a strong new senior leadership team, including a new CEO, who we believe are taking immediate actions designed to transform RadioShack and rebuild its position as a strong and vibrant retailer."
