CLEVELAND, Oct. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ancora Advisors LLC ("Ancora"), a shareholder of Shutterfly, Inc. ("Company"), sent a letter this morning to Philip Marineau, the Board Chairman at Shutterfly. Please find below a link to the full text of the letter.

Ancora believes that the board and management have failed to appreciate the new mandate for Shutterfly issued by shareholders at the 2015 annual meeting. On its latest conference call, Shutterfly's management dismissed the need for change within the Company's corporate strategy and capital allocation, and made it clear they do not comprehend the magnitude of the transformation required in executive compensation to appease shareholders. Ancora discusses its views on these three topics at length in the letter.

If Shutterfly's board continues its dismissive stance toward shareholder concerns, Ancora believes it is hard to envision a scenario where the Company does not face another proxy contest in 2016, particularly in light of the recent share price underperformance.
