Victoria's Secret & Co. Issues Investor Presentation Highlighting Significant Transformation, Operational Momentum and Shareholder Value Creation
VS&Co Board and Management are Delivering Significant Operational and TSR Outperformance Under New Leadership and "Path to Potential" Strategy
BBRC's Campaign Ignores Meaningful Progress and Seeks to Disrupt Path to Potential with Self-Interested Narratives and Misleading Claims
VS&Co Urges Shareholders to Vote "FOR" All Highly Qualified Directors at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio, May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victoria's Secret & Co. ("VS&Co" or the "Company") (NYSE:VSCO) today announced that it has filed a detailed investor presentation titled "Vote for Victoria's Secret's Board and Our Continued Momentum." The presentation highlights the Company's strong operational and financial momentum under its Path to Potential strategy, as well as the decisive actions taken by the Board and management to position the Company for long-term success and drive shareholder value.
VS&Co today is a fundamentally different company than it was at the time of its separation in 2021. Under the leadership of CEO Hillary Super and the oversight of the Board, the Company has refreshed more than half of its senior leadership team, launched its Path to Potential strategy, accelerated comparable sales growth, expanded margins and delivered shareholder returns that have significantly outperformed peers and key retail indices since the CEO transition was announced.1
Rather than acknowledge this clear momentum and the Company's successful turnaround, BBRC International Pte Limited ("BBRC") continues to rely on misleading and backward-looking claims that we believe are designed to distract shareholders and disrupt the Company at a critical inflection point.
BBRC has offered no credible alternative strategy, no operational plan and no path to create value for shareholders. Instead, focusing solely on the past to advance BBRC Chairman Brett Blundy's personal agenda following the Board's determination — after years of engagement, extensive review and good faith cooperation proposals — that his appointment to the Board would pose serious reputational, legal, conflict of interest and governance risks for VS&Co. The presentation also sets the record straight as to BBRC's distracting campaign and addresses its distorted accounts and misleading claims.
The Board remains focused on executing the Path to Potential strategy that is working, continuing to deliver for shareholders and ensuring VS&Co does not become sidetracked by a self-interested and increasingly misleading campaign.
The full investor presentation, as well as previous communications to shareholders, can be found on VSPathtoPotential.com and the Investor Relations section of the Company's website.
VS&Co also published a series of video interviews with three current Board members on VSPathtoPotential.com discussing the Board's approach to many of its key responsibilities, including Board oversight and CEO succession, corporate governance, board composition and development, executive compensation aligned with performance and strategic advisory grounded in deep industry insight.
The Company believes it has the right Board, the right Board Chair in Donna James and the right leadership team to continue delivering value to shareholders. The Board also believes VS&Co's current leadership team and Board are best positioned to continue executing the Company's Path to Potential strategy, sustain operational and financial momentum and deliver long-term value for all shareholders.
VS&Co's Board urges shareholders to use the WHITE proxy card to vote "FOR" all of VS&Co's nine highly qualified director nominees in connection with the Company's upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on June 11, 2026.
