Victoria's Secret Urged by Barington Capital to 'Refresh' Board, Cancel Shareholder Rights Plan
Jun 16, 2025 5:14 AM

07:50 AM EDT, 06/16/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Victoria's Secret (VSCO) shareholder Barington Capital Group urged the company to "refresh" its board and cancel a shareholder rights plan as part of its proposed action plan for Victoria's Secret to "regain its footing."

Barington Capital Group issued a letter Monday to Victoria's Secret Chairman Donna James, highlighting the company's deteriorating performance since its spin-off from L Brands and public listing in 2021. According to the activist investor, Victoria's Secret has lost over $2.4 billion in shareholder value since 2021 and has "meaningfully underperformed" against its peers.

As part of its proposed action plan, Barington Capital urged Victoria's Secret to streamline its operating model, refocus on core products, and accelerate growth in digital and international markets.

Barington Capital said it owns over 1% of Victoria's Secret's outstanding shares with its affiliates.

Victoria's Secret did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

Shares of Victoria's Secret were up more than 3% in recent premarket activity Monday.
