PR Newswire (US)
MISGAV, Israel, September 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tefron Ltd.
(OTC:TFRFF)(TASE:TFRN), a leading producer of seamless intimate
apparel and engineered-for-performance (EFPTM) active wear,
announced today that the special committee that was appointed by
the Company's board of directors following the resignation of Mr.
Michal Korman has concluded its work. As announced on June 22,
2009, Mr. Korman raised claims regarding the conduct of management
of the Company and the communication between management and the
Company's board of directors. The special committee examined
management's projections for the budget for the year 2009 and the
communication between management and the members of the Board of
Directors. The special committee concluded that management's
projections as presented to the Board of Directors were reasonable
and were based on reasonable data. Nevertheless, the special
committee recommended that, in the future, when presenting the
annual budget to the board of directors for approval, management
should present the range of projections that management considered
in preparing the budget and address the differences between such
projections. In addition, the special committee recommended that
the Company's Board of Directors establish a policy for conveying
information from management to the members of the Board of
Directors (which would address, among other things, the manner in
which the information is transferred, the timing for transfer of
information and the type of information to be transferred),
including updating members of the Board of Directors on an ongoing
basis of any material changes that occurred in the condition of the
Company. The Company will submit an unofficial translation of the
full report of the special committee on Form 6-K. About Tefron
