05:36 PM EDT, 06/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Brookdale Senior Living ( BKD ) urged shareholders to vote for its eight board nominees at the 2025 annual meeting on July 11.

In an investor presentation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company emphasized the board's strong track record.

The "significantly refreshed board," with six independent directors appointed in the past seven years, is "executing a clear strategy to drive shareholder value," the company said Wednesday in a statement.

Brookdale said Ortelius Advisors, an investor seeking board influence, lacks a strategic plan and may disrupt operational progress and the search for a chief executive officer.
