RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Synalloy Corporation (Nasdaq: SYNL) (“Synalloy” or the “Company”) today announced preliminary voting results from its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), held Tuesday, June 30, 2020. Based on preliminary results, the Company expects that shareholders have voted to elect five incumbent directors and three directors nominated by two of Synalloy’s shareholders, Privet Fund Management LLC (“Privet”) and UPG Enterprises LLC (“UPG”), to serve on Synalloy’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Based on preliminary results, the nominees elected to the Board will include incumbent directors Craig Bram, Susan Gayner, Henry Guy, Jeff Kaczka and Amy Michtich, as well as three directors nominated by Privet and UPG.

The Board issued the following statement:

“We appreciate our shareholders’ thorough engagement throughout this process. The preliminary tallies show that shareholders unaffiliated with Privet and UPG overwhelmingly and strongly supported Synalloy’s incumbent directors and management. We thank our shareholders for their continued support and we look forward to putting Privet’s and UPG’s costly and distracting proxy campaign behind us as we focus on driving Synalloy’s business forward to enhance long-term value for all Synalloy shareholders.”

Following certification by an independent inspector of elections, Synalloy will file the voting results with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K and will additionally post the results on the Investor Relations section of its website, which can be found at www.investor.synalloy.com.
