, /PRNewswire/ -- Barnwell Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: BRN) ("Barnwell" or the "Company") today urged shareholders to follow the recommendation by leading proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") in its May 7, 2025, report in which it recommended just one candidate, Heather Isidoro, from the slate put forward by Ned Sherwood and his affiliates (the "Sherwood Group").In its report, ISS stated1: Barnwell Industries, Inc. As such, votes on the dissident card for the removal of [Alex] Kinzler, and against the removal of Kenneth Grossman, Joshua Horowitz, and Douglas Woodrum are warranted; as is support for dissident nominee Isidoro, and votes against dissident nominees James Cornell, Stuart Oran, Sherwood, and Gregory Sullivan. Barnwell issued the following statement:The Company is disappointed that ISS recommended the removal of Mr. Kinzler from Barnwell's Board, however, we believe the election of Ms. Isidoro and removal of Mr. Kinzler is a reasonable outcome. Such an outcome is also consistent with the opinion of proxy advisory firms ISS and Glass Lewis that replacing the entire Barnwell Board with an entirely new slate – and no plan for the Company – would be imprudent, and we believe, value destructive.We are pleased that, by rejecting the Sherwood Group's attempt to replace the Barnwell Board of Directors, ISS recognizes the Sherwood Group has no credible plan for the Company. A key criteria for ISS in making recommendations when a shareholder is seeking control is whether that shareholder has a plan – and the Sherwood Group decidedly does not. Barnwell strongly urges shareholders to protect the value of their investment by voting the WHITE consent revocation card today and rejecting the Sherwood Group's agenda.If you have any questions or to revoke a previous submitted consent, please contact our proxy solicitor: Okapi Partners at (877) 869-0171 or by email at [email protected] 1 Permission to use quotations neither sought nor obtained.Forward-Looking StatementsCertain information contained in this press release contains "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
