TrueBlue responds to EHS Management director nominations amid board changes

TrueBlue Inc. (NYSE: TBI) issued a statement responding to director nominations from EHS Management, LLC, while highlighting recent board appointments and strategic initiatives.

The Tacoma-based staffing company appointed William Greenblatt and William Seward as new directors following a board refreshment process that involved months of shareholder engagement. Two existing directors will step down at or before the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.

The board engaged with Eric Su of EHS Management during the refreshment process and interviewed multiple candidates, including Su, before selecting the new directors. TrueBlue stated that EHS was informed of the refreshment plans before Su publicly announced his intention to nominate directors.

The company said it is executing a strategic plan focused on strengthening performance in skilled business segments while streamlining costs. TrueBlue reported improvements in its technology platforms for workforce solutions and efforts to enhance profitability through operational efficiency.

The appointments were endorsed by TrueBlue's largest shareholder, according to the company statement. The board said the changes reflect ongoing efforts to incorporate shareholder feedback and strengthen operational oversight.

Shareholders are not required to take action at this time. The board will present director election recommendations in its definitive proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Barclays is serving as financial advisor and Sidley Austin LLP as legal counsel to TrueBlue. The company provides specialized workforce solutions through brands including PeopleReady, PeopleScout, and Staff Management.
