On April 13, 2018, Allan R. Tessler, a director of Steel Partners Holdings GP Inc., the general partner to Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (the "Company"), and a member of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), formally notified the Board that he does not intend to stand for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting of Limited Partners to be held on May 24, 2018 (the "Annual Meeting"), and that he will retire from the Board effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Mr. Tessler's decision not to stand for re-election to the Board related solely to his decision to retire and did not involve any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.
Following the Annual Meeting, there will be a vacancy on the Board which the Company intends to fill through a robust and comprehensive search process. It is also anticipated that any new independent director would become a member of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee after his or her election.
