Bradley L. Radoff, a significant stakeholder in Enviri (NYSE: NVRI), has issued an open letter to the company's Board of Directors demanding immediate governance changes to address prolonged value destruction. The letter criticizes the Board's recent refreshment plan as insufficient and calls for three specific actions:
1. Replace three long-serving directors (David C. Everitt, James F. Earl, and Phillip C. Widman) with new independent directors
2. Separate the Chairman and CEO roles currently held by F. Nicholas Grasberger III
3. Consider all alternatives for the underperforming Harsco Rail segment
The letter highlights significant underperformance, with NVRI showing negative returns: -39.4% (3-year), -37.3% (5-year), and -59.7% during CEO tenure, compared to substantial positive returns for industry benchmarks. Radoff threatens to vote against all incumbent directors at the 2025 Annual Meeting if changes are not implemented.
