NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- JANA Partners (“JANA”), which together with its strategic and operating partners owns more than 5% of Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LW) (“Lamb Weston” or the “Company”) and is one of the Company’s largest shareholders, today issued the following statement:

“Today’s disastrous financial results and decision to swap its CEO for another long-standing Lamb Weston executive complicit in its widespread operational and strategic debacles is just the latest stick in the eye from a Board that has completely failed shareholders. Enough is enough: Lamb Weston requires significant board change or, in its absence, should be sold.”
