Resource Capital Fund VII L.P. (RCF), holding around 5.2% of IAMGOLD shares, expressed dissatisfaction with IAMGOLD's recent press release, claiming it mischaracterizes their engagement. RCF emphasizes the need for a board reconstitution and leadership change, with a focus on operational turnaround. RCF asserts that nearly 40% of shareholders support their proposal, including the appointment of Maryse Bélanger as Chair. The press release warns against a costly proxy fight, urging IAMGOLD's board to prioritize shareholder interests and operational efficiency.
