22NW Fund, LP, which says it owns 3 per cent of Aimia Inc. (AIM-T) is calling for a shakeup of the Aimia board at the next annual general meeting of shareholders on April 27.

“We intend to withhold our votes for all of Aimia’s legacy board members,” stated Aron English, manager of 22NW Fund stated in a release. “We believe the abysmal performance of Aimia’s stock as well as the repeated incompetence demonstrated by Aimia’s legacy Board members speaks for itself and should be obvious to all shareholders.”

Seattle-based 22NW also said it believes the board is “single-handedly responsible for the company’s unnecessary and completely avoidable value destruction and must not be re-elected at the AGM to prevent further destruction in shareholder value.”
