SEC Filing

Summer Road LLC and affiliated entities filed a definitive proxy statement to solicit votes for director nominee Rory A. Held at Ingles Markets' 2026 annual meeting. The filing responds to the board's opposition, asserting that Held personally owns more Ingles stock than all independent board members combined and would owe fiduciary duty to all shareholders if elected. Summer Road criticizes the company's lagging shareholder returns, deficient disclosure, lack of boardroom accountability, and poor capital allocation.
