Andrew B. Cohen Seeks to Shift Blame for Republic Firsts Poor Performance onto Prior Management and Lack of Board Oversight Despite his Own Longtime Board Service
Termination of Badly Needed Capital Raise Underscores Need to Elect New Directors at October Annual Meeting
CAMDEN, NJ: In their July 17, 2023 letter to shareholders of Republic First Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRBK) (the Company or Republic First), newly promoted Board Chair Andrew B. Cohen and President and CEO Thomas X. Geisel blame the prior executive teams mistakes and lack of Board oversight for what has been an extremely disappointing few years for all shareholders despite Cohens service on the Board since 2017, a period shareholders saw the Companys share price drop to all-time lows amid a steady stream of revelations about mismanagement, dysfunction and staff and service cutbacks. Simultaneously, the Company also announced the termination of an Agreement with Cohen and others to pursue a badly needed capital raise for the Company.
Gregory B. Braca one of three nominees for election at the long-delayed 2022 Annual Meeting of shareholder scheduled for this October, commented, No matter what rhetorical games Andrew Cohen and Tom Geisel want to play, the facts cant be changed: Republic First is far less well capitalized than peers, it is reducing services and branches and ceasing payments on debt and preferred stock clear signs it is concerned about capital levels and its Board and management have no credible plan to turn things around, closed Braca. Thats why its so important new leadership is elected to the Board at Octobers annual meeting.
