Strategic Organizing Center Launches www.BrewABetterStarbucks.com and Files Preliminary Proxy Statement

Believes Starbucks’ misguided response to labor issues has exposed the Company to unnecessary reputational harm and requires boardroom change to protect mission-critical employee relations and shareholder value

SOC’s highly qualified nominees would bring urgently needed human capital management and public policy experience to the Starbucks Board

The Strategic Organizing Center (the “SOC”), a shareholder of Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq: SBUX) (“Starbucks” or the “Company”), today announced the launch of its website www.BrewABetterStarbucks.com and that it has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with Starbucks’ 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The SOC has nominated three director candidates – Maria Echaveste, Hon. Joshua Gotbaum and Wilma Liebman – for election to the Starbucks Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the upcoming Annual Meeting.

Starbucks shareholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders are encouraged to visit www.BrewABetterStarbucks.com to share their views, sign up for important updates and learn about the SOC’s efforts to enhance the Company’s human capital management practices, facilitate constructive outcomes of ongoing labor disputes and oversee engagement with policymakers and regulators.
