Proxy firm backs Garg-led BETR board shift; execution turnaround likely

Oct 28, 2026, 1:18 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The reconstitution of the board with Garg’s influence reduces governance overhang and aligns leadership with a historically positive execution path (14% TSR pre-incident vs peers). If execution momentum returns, BETR could re-rate; past share decline after removal suggests potential upside from a stabilization of leadership.

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Egan-Jones issued a commentary on BETR's consent solicitation, noting a majority approved the Garg Group's bid to reconstitute the board and remove five directors, including Interim CEO Daniel Lewis. The firm argues Garg's turnaround trajectory persisted post-removal and that governance issues aside, the focus shifts to execution. BETR’s stock fell about 53% in the five weeks after the August removal, signaling significant near-term execution risk but potential upside if Garg's strategy gains traction.
