Dillard's

COMPANY

Department store chain, founded 1938 by William T. Dillard.

Gwen Moritz, "Fortress Dillard's: A Thorn in the Side of Investors, Analysts", Arkansas Business, 1 October 2007:

Scores of CEOs from publicly traded companies grant interviews or otherwise make public statements every day of the year. But a public statement out of Dillard's is so rare -- and Dillard's is under such pressure from disgruntled institutional investors -- that anything Dillard might say in an interview would probably constitute a "material event" that would trigger SEC reporting requirements.

It's probably unrealistic to think that Dillard would sit down and answer questions from Arkansas Business when he won't even return a call from someone who has invested some $90 million in his company. And that's the point: Dillard's Inc., which provided Dillard family members with salaries and dividends in excess of $16 million last year, has rarely been responsive -- not to the press, not to stock analysts, not to investors. And because the company's bylaws give holders of Class B shares -- that is, the Dillard family -- the right to elect eight of 12 directors, there's not a darn thing anyone can do about it.
