Edward and Ludmila Smolyansky, who control approximately 26% of Lifeway Foods (NASDAQ: LWAY) shares, provided an update on their consent solicitation process initiated on July 2, 2025. The Smolyanskys are challenging the current Board's actions and seeking shareholder support to remove the existing board.
A key controversy emerged when Lead Independent Director Jason Scher sold 24,566 of his 24,567 shares at $24.23 per share, seemingly contradicting the Board's stance that Danone's $27 per share offer "severely undervalues" the company. This sale appears to violate the company's director stock ownership policy, which requires directors to maintain shares valued at 200% of their annual retainer.
The Board has claimed the consent solicitation is legally deficient, though the Smolyanskys note their formal request for a record date and shareholder list from June 17 remains unfulfilled.
Lifeway Foods (NASDAQ: LWAY), a leading U.S. supplier of Kefir and fermented probiotic products, has issued a response to a consent solicitation statement filed by Edward and Ludmila Smolyansky. The company highlights its strong performance, including 788% shareholder returns over 5 years and approximately 100% revenue growth from FY '19 through FY '24.
The company claims that the Smolyanskys' July 2nd filing violates Illinois law and company organizational documents, particularly regarding record date setting and proper shareholder notification requirements. Lifeway urges shareholders to disregard the Smolyanskys' communications, deeming their statement legally deficient.
Edward and Ludmila Smolyansky, controlling approximately 23.2% of Lifeway Foods (NASDAQ: LWAY) shares, have filed a definitive consent statement with the SEC to remove the entire current board of directors, including CEO Julie Smolyansky.

The new slate of nominees brings expertise in governance, finance, operations, and consumer products.
Edward Smolyansky criticizes the current board for disregarding shareholder feedback, lacking strategic direction, and rewarding failure. The Board Removal and Director Election proposals are conditionally linked to ensure continuous leadership during transition.
