Silver Star (SLVS) Faces Hartman’s Proxy Fight: Shareholder Demands Board Overhaul After Mismanagement and Shareholder Exclusion

Summary

Al Hartman charged Silver Star’s leadership with destroying 70% of NAV since 2022 through poor governance, asset neglect, and fire-sale property disposals, while highlighting money-losing storage assets burdened by high-cost debt. He accused CEO Haddock of abusing a 3:1 “flip-in” maneuver to triple his holdings and exclude certain shareholders, raising serious legal and fiduciary concerns, including proxy solicitation without audits and withholding records. To restore accountability, Hartman proposed a new slate—himself, governance expert Brent Longnecker, and operator Benjamin Thomas—focused on disciplined asset repositioning, selling underperforming storage, and returning capital to investors.
