Dennis J. Wilson, founder of lululemon athletica inc., filed a DFAN14A proxy solicitation document on March 12, 2026, announcing his intention to nominate three independent director candidates—Marc Maurer, Laura Gentile, and Eric Hirshberg—for election at the 2026 annual meeting. Wilson and associated entities collectively hold 9,904,856 shares (5,115,961 special voting shares on a fully-converted basis) as members of a Schedule 13(d) group. The campaign demands board refreshment focused on brand, product, and marketing expertise, criticizing the current board's limited diversity, long average tenure exceeding 8 years, and alleged conflicts tied to Advent International.
