All Three Leading Independent Proxy Advisory
Firms Recommend That Shareholders Vote FOR ALL Superior’s
Board Nominees
Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP), the largest
manufacturer of aluminum wheels for passenger cars and light-duty
vehicles in North America, is urging its shareholders to vote the
WHITE proxy card FOR ALL
seven of its director nominees at the Company’s upcoming 2015
Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be held next week, on Tuesday,
May 5, 2015.
As previously announced, all three of the leading independent
proxy advisory firms— ISS Proxy Advisory Services, Glass, Lewis
& Co., LLC, and Egan-Jones—have recommended that shareholders
vote the WHITE proxy card
FOR ALL Superior’s highly qualified and
experienced director-nominees – Margaret S. Dano, Jack A.
Hockema, Paul J. Humphries, James S. McElya, Timothy C. McQuay,
Donald J. Stebbins and Francisco S. Uranga.
Commenting on the upcoming 2015 Annual Meeting, Superior issued
the following statement: “We are very pleased that ISS, Glass Lewis
and Egan-Jones, the three leading independent, third-party proxy
advisory firms, have carefully reviewed the voting alternatives and
all three have recommended that shareholders should vote for all
seven of Superior's director nominees on the WHITE proxy card. As we have stated
consistently, we do not believe that any of GAMCO’s nominees can be
said to have experience comparable to that of any of the three
highly qualified and very experienced members of the Superior Board
that GAMCO is seeking to replace. As was the case with GAMCO’s
previous two unsuccessful proxy contests against Superior, not one
of GAMCO’s nominees has any executive–level manufacturing,
automotive industry, supply chain management, global markets or
global operations experience, and we do not believe that any of
GAMCO’s nominees would bring to Superior’s Board any relevant
insights, perspectives, skills or competencies not already present
among the current members of the Superior Board. In addition, none
of GAMCO’s nominees have any experience navigating a company the
size and global reach of Superior through the complex, dynamic and
highly competitive global business environment in which we
operate.”
Superior shareholders are reminded that their vote is extremely
important, no matter how many or how few shares they own.
Shareholders may vote by returning the WHITE proxy card or by phone or Internet by
following the instructions on the WHITE proxy card they have received.
Shareholders are urged to discard any blue proxy card or voting
instruction card they may have received from GAMCO. Even a WITHHOLD
vote with respect to GAMCO’s nominees on its blue proxy card will
cancel any proxy previously given to Superior. If a shareholder
previously signed a blue proxy card sent by GAMCO, that proxy card
can be revoked by voting a new WHITE proxy card for the Board’s
recommended nominees. Only the latest-dated proxy will count.
Superior is being advised in connection with the proxy contest
by Winston & Strawn, LLP and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.

solicitor.
