Mr. Peter Woodward
Chairman of the Board
Hampshire Group, Ltd.
114 West 41st Street
New York, NY 10036
FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear Mr. Woodward:
I am a bit taken aback by the lack of a response to my letter dated November 12th requesting a meeting with the Board to discuss your disappointing financial results.
While I recognize this to be a grey area, in my opinion your radio silence is more a neglect of fiduciary duty than an exercise in business judgment.
As a large owner with a twenty year history of standing up for shareholders, I shall take under consideration what my next initiative should be to put an end to the value destruction in Hampshire Group that I observe.
I am available to discuss this immediately and can be reached directly at 212-760-0134 or at nobus@wynnefieldcapital.com.
Sincerely,
Nelson Obus, Managing Member
Wynnefield Capital Management, LLC
