Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc.(Nasdaq: CBRL) said that the Company strongly disagrees with the recommendations of Glass Lewis regarding the election of directors to the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Board at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on December 20, 2011.
Sandra B. Cochran, president and chief executive officer, said: "We believe the Glass Lewis report fails to recognize the Company's significant recent financial performance and business momentum, and fails to appreciate Mr. Biglari's significant conflicts, poor governance record and potential hidden agenda. It also fails to understand that, as we have amply demonstrated, the positive changes in the Company's board and management were underway well before Mr. Biglari showed up. Nothing in the Glass Lewis report changes in any way our strong belief and the express recommendation of ISS that it would not be in the interest of the Company or our shareholders to add Mr. Biglari to the Board.
“We continue to urge shareholders to vote the WHITE proxy card to elect the Company's nominees to the Board.”
