Turtle Creek Asset Management said on Monday it had issued an open letter to the board of directors of Gildan Activewear (NYSE:GIL).
The activist investor urged the Canadian apparel maker to "call the special meeting without delay."
"The Company’s latest disclosures suggest it may seize on a purported “foot fault”, under the guise of protecting “shareholder value”, to deny shareholder Browning West’s requisition for a Meeting," said Turtle Creek.
GIL has been under pressure from key shareholders including Browning West and Turtle Creek Asset Management following the removal of co-founder Glenn Chamandy as CEO.
