Activist investor Hildene Capital is pushing for a major overhaul at CIB Marine Bancshares, saying the company is underperforming. Connecticut-based Hildene has also nominated two people it wants elected to CIB Marine’s Board at the annual shareholders’ meeting on April 29. Funds managed by Hildene own 36% of each of the Wisconsin-based CIB Marine’s series A and series B preferred stock, as well as 0.1% of the company’s common stock.
