Ex-Solutia CEO seeks to oust Zoltek board

Date: 8 March 2013

After a failed bid to buy Zoltek Cos., an investment group led by Jeffry Quinn now is seeking control by ousting the company’s board of directors, arguing a new board is needed to re-energize the carbon fiber maker’s financial performance.

Quinn, a former Solutia CEO and president who lives in the St.Louis area, is leading the Quinpario group, a band of shareholders that owns 10 percent of Bridgeton-based Zoltek’s outstanding common stock.

The group is the company’s second-largest shareholder. Zoltek’s founder, chairman and CEO Zsolt Rumy owns an 18 percent stake in the company.
