Insights

Legion secures NN Inc board seat under a standstill at 9.95% ownership.

The filing shows Legion Partners and related entities collectively beneficially owning 5,016,929 NN Inc shares, or 9.95% of the common stock, including certain warrant shares. In exchange for a cooperation agreement dated January 16, 2026, NN Inc expanded its board to eight members and appointed Raymond T. White, a Legion managing director, to the board and its Strategic Committee.

The agreement binds Legion to a standstill, capping ownership at 19.9% of outstanding shares through the specified standstill period tied to the 2027 and 2028 annual meeting timelines. Legion also agrees to generally vote with the board’s recommendations, with carve-outs where proxy advisors ISS or Glass Lewis differ on non-director proposals and for defined extraordinary matters. The filing notes no NN Inc share transactions by the group in the past 60 days, indicating the change is primarily governance- and agreement-driven rather than the result of recent trading.
