Attention: Linda A. Serafini, Corporate Secretary

 

Re: Notice of Nomination of Persons for Election as Directors

Dear Ms. Serafini:

Darlington Partners, L.P. (the “Nominating Stockholder”) hereby gives notice to Mac-Gray Corporation (the “Company”) that it is formally nominating both Scott W. Clark and Bruce C. Ginsberg (together the “Nominees,” and each a “Nominee”) for election to the Board of Directors of the Company. The numbered paragraphs below correspond with subsections of Article I Section 2(a) of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “Bylaws”).

 

(2)(A)   Please see Exhibit A, attached hereto, for all information relating to the Nominees that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
  Please see Exhibit B, attached hereto, for the written consents of each Nominee to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected.
(2)(B)   We note that the Nominating Stockholder sent a letter to the Company, dated December 19, 2008, whereby the Nominating Stockholder submitted a stockholder proposal to the Company, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, relating to the declassification of the Company’s Board of Directors. Additionally, although Peter Mathieson and Margaret Conver as trustees (the “Trustees”) of the Abigail B Mathieson Trust U/A DTD 8/31/1991 (the “Trust”) are not stockholders submitting this notice of nomination, we note that the Trustees sent a letter to the Company, dated December 19, 2008, whereby the Trustees submitted a stockholder proposal to the Company, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, relating to a majority vote standard in director elections.

Exhibit A

The following is all the information relating to the Nominees that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act:

The Nominees

The following are the name, age, present principal occupation, employment history and directorships of publicly held companies of each of the Nominees for at least the last five years:

Scott W. Clark is 36 years old. From 2002 to the present, Mr. Clark has been a Vice President, member and portfolio manager with Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC, an SEC-registered independent investment advisor, and a managing partner and portfolio manager for Darlington Partners, L.P., a private investment partnership of which Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC is the general partner. Mr. Clark is not a director, and for the last five years has not been a director, of any publicly held company or any company that is a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Bruce C. Ginsberg is 50 years old. From June 2006 to the present, Mr. Ginsberg has been President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of MooBella LLC, a company that has developed an innovative ice cream dispensing system for foodservice operations. From 2001 to June 2006, Mr. Ginsberg was President, Chief Operating Officer and a director of MooBella LLC. From 1999 to the present, Mr. Ginsberg has been the founder, President and sole shareholder of New England Ice Cream Corporation, a company that distributes nationally branded frozen desserts to retail, food service and machine vending accounts. Mr. Ginsberg is not a director, and for the last five years has not been a director, of any publicly held company or any company that is a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Mr. Clark’s business address is Fairview Capital, 300 Drakes Landing Road, Suite 250, Greenbrae, CA 94904.

Mr. Ginsberg’s business address is MooBella, LLC, 555 Constitution Drive, Taunton, MA 02780-7365.

The Proposing Persons believe that each of the Nominees could be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company to be independent from the Company in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and New York Stock Exchange rules regarding board of directors independence. Each of the Nominees has consented to serve as a director of the Company, if elected, and to be named in a proxy statement as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors of the Company.

Mr. Clark is deemed to beneficially own 851,346 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company, representing approximately 6.4% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (based upon the 13,378,068 shares of common stock of the Company stated to be outstanding as of November 7, 2008 by the Company in the Company’s Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q with the SEC for the quarter ended September 30, 2008), which includes 803,146 shares owned of record and beneficially by Darlington Partners, L.P., 41,000 shares beneficially owned by Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC in actively managed client accounts and 7,200 shares beneficially owned by Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC in non-managed employee accounts for which Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC does not receive management fees. Mr. Clark is a Vice President, member and portfolio manager of Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC and a managing partner and portfolio manager of Darlington Partners, L.P. Mr. Clark disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

 

Page 19 of 30


CUSIP No. 554153106    SCHEDULE 13D   

 

Please see Exhibit C, attached hereto, for information relating to purchases and sales of Mr. Clark’s beneficially owned securities of the Company during the past two years.

Mr. Ginsberg does not own, and has never owned, beneficially or of record, any shares of capital stock of the Company.

The Nominees will not receive any compensation from the Proposing Persons for their services as directors of the Company. Neither Nominee received any compensation from the Company during the Company’s last completed fiscal year.

As stated above, Mr. Clark is a Vice President, member and portfolio manager of Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC and a managing partner and portfolio manager of Darlington Partners, L.P., and he is a party to agreements that reflect such relationships with such Proposing Persons.

The Nominating Stockholder and Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC have signed a letter agreement with Mr. Ginsberg pursuant to which they will indemnify Mr. Ginsberg against certain legal actions arising from the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting and any related transactions.

The Nominating Stockholder sent a letter to the Company, dated December 19, 2008, whereby the Nominating Stockholder submitted a stockholder proposal to the Company, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, relating to the declassification of the Company’s Board of Directors. Additionally, Peter Mathieson and Margaret Conver as trustees (the “Trustees”) of the Abigail B Mathieson Trust U/A DTD 8/31/1991 (the “Trust”) sent a letter to the Company, dated December 19, 2008, whereby the Trustees submitted a stockholder proposal to the Company, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, relating to a majority vote standard in director elections. Mr. Clark is a managing partner and portfolio manager of Darlington Partners, L.P. and could be deemed to beneficially own the shares of common stock of the Company held by Trustees in the Trust, and therefore, he could be deemed to have an interest in such stockholder proposals as they are acted on at the Company’s Annual Meeting.

Other than as stated in this Notice of Nomination letter and related exhibits, there are no arrangements or understandings between the Proposing Persons and the Nominees or any other person or persons pursuant to which the nomination of the Nominees is to be made, other than the consent by each of the Nominees to be named in a proxy statement and to serve as a director of the Company if elected as such at the Annual Meeting. Neither Nominee nor any of their associates is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any material pending legal proceedings.

Other than as stated in this Notice of Nomination letter and related exhibits, (i) during the last 10 years, neither Nominee has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); (ii) neither Nominee directly or indirectly beneficially owns any securities of the Company; (iii) neither Nominee owns any securities of the Company which are owned of record but not beneficially; (iv) neither Nominee has purchased or sold any securities of the Company during the past two years; (v) no part of the purchase price or market value of the securities of the Company owned by either Nominee is represented by funds borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring or holding such securities; (vi) neither Nominee is, or within the past year was, a party to any contract, arrangement or understanding with any persons with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profits, divisions of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies; (vii) no associate of either Nominee owns beneficially, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company; (viii) neither Nominee owns beneficially, directly or indirectly, any securities of any parent or subsidiary of the

CUSIP No. 554153106    SCHEDULE 13D   

 

Company; (ix) neither Nominee nor any of their associates was a party to any transaction, or series of similar transactions, since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or is a party to any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000; (x) neither Nominee nor any of their associates has any arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any future employment by the Company or its affiliates, or with respect to any future transactions to which the Company or any of its affiliates will or may be a party; and (xi) no person, including each Nominee, who is a party to an arrangement or understanding pursuant to which the Nominees are proposed to be elected, has a substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, other than an interest, if any, as a stockholder of the Company.

FAIRVIEW CAPITAL TO SEEK REPRESENTATION ON MAC-GRAY’S BOARD

Greenbrae, CA – February 20, 2009 – Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC (“Fairview”) today announced that Darlington Partners, L.P. (“Darlington”), an investment partnership it manages, gave notice to Mac-Gray Corporation (“Mac-Gray”) (NYSE: TUC) that Darlington intends to nominate two independent candidates for election to Mac-Gray’s Board of Directors at Mac-Gray’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Fairview beneficially owns 6.4% of Mac-Gray’s outstanding shares. Fairview’s nominees are Scott W. Clark and Bruce C. Ginsberg.

“Fairview has been a Mac-Gray shareholder for nearly five years,” said Scott Clark, Fairview portfolio manager. “We believe most of Mac-Gray’s financial metrics have shown little improvement during this time, despite more than $300 million spent on acquisitions that Management previously estimated would be accretive. The share price has underperformed the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 indices in each of the past three years, and now stands 57% below the closing price on the day of Mac-Gray’s IPO in 1997. We have concluded that Mac-Gray’s ‘growth’ strategy is not working, and we believe this is best addressed through shareholder representation on the Board of Directors.”

Clark continued: “We view our nomination of directors as a natural next step for our involvement with Mac-Gray. We believe Mac-Gray is an excellent business with a flawed capital allocation strategy. For several years, through conversations with Management and letters to the Board, we patiently tried to convince Mac-Gray to shift its strategy. Despite our advice, and in the face of poor financial performance and a sinking share price, we believe Management and the Board have been unresponsive.”

“We are confident our two nominees address the major deficiencies that we see in the composition of Mac-Gray’s Board,” Clark added. “Specifically, we believe the Board lacks members with significant experience or expertise in the financial analysis of acquisitions and capital investments. In addition, we believe most of the Board’s independent members own relatively few common shares and therefore are not properly aligned with shareholders.”

Andy Mathieson, Fairview’s founder and President said, “Scott Clark’s background as an investor and investment banker make him a perfect candidate to assist Mac-Gray with the financial analysis of future acquisitions and capital expenditures, and to compare those investments to alternatives such as share repurchases and dividends. Bruce Ginsberg is a Boston native with decades of experience running asset-intensive and logistics-oriented businesses that are analogous to Mac-Gray’s core laundry facilities management business. He is an ideal candidate to help improve the company’s operations and review its capital spending budgets.”

Nominees

Scott W. Clark (age 36): From 2002 to the present, Mr. Clark has been a Vice President, member and portfolio manager with Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC, an SEC-registered independent investment advisor, and a managing partner and portfolio manager for Darlington Partners, L.P., a private investment partnership of which Fairview Capital Investment Management, LLC is the general partner. Mr. Clark earned an undergraduate degree from Brown University and an MBA from Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.

Bruce C. Ginsberg (age 50): From June 2006 to the present, Mr. Ginsberg has been President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of MooBella LLC, a company that has developed an innovative ice cream dispensing system for foodservice operations. From 2001 to June 2006, Mr. Ginsberg was President, Chief Operating Officer and a director of MooBella LLC. From 1999 to the present, Mr. Ginsberg has been the founder, President and sole shareholder of New England Ice Cream Corporation, a company that distributes nationally branded frozen desserts to retail, food service and machine vending accounts. Mr. Ginsberg earned his BS degree and MBA from Boston College.
