Osmium Partners, the second-largest shareholder of Articore (ASX:ATG), has issued a letter urging shareholders to vote for its four director nominees at the upcoming Annual Meeting on October 24, 2024. Osmium criticizes Articore's board for:

1. Persistent underperformance and share price decline
2. Multiple CEO changes and strategic misfires
3. Declining revenue for three years
4. Underperforming the ASX200 by ~100% since 2019

Osmium highlights its successful campaign with Leaf Group (NASDAQ: LEAF), which resulted in an acquisition at 1.4x EV/Sales. They argue that Articore's current 0.17x EV/Sales valuation is among the lowest for digital marketplaces, citing poor board decisions.
