The Stride Rite Corporation (NYSE:SRR) announced today
that its Board of Directors has adopted a new shareholder rights plan to
replace its existing plan that was scheduled to expire in July 2007.
David M. Chamberlain, the Company’s Chairman
and CEO, stated, “We are pleased to announce
that the new Plan raises the stock ownership threshold which triggers
the Plan from 10% to 15% and contains a “TIDE”
provision, which requires that independent directors of the Company to
consider at least once every three years whether maintaining the rights
plan continues to be in the best interests of shareholders. The Plan is
designed to enhance the Board’s ability to
protect shareholder interests and to ensure that shareholders receive
fair treatment in the event any coercive takeover attempt of Stride Rite
is made in the future. The Plan is intended to provide the Board with
sufficient time to consider any and all alternatives to such an action
and is similar to plans adopted by many other publicly traded companies.”
