Merion Road Capital Management and Blue Hill Advisors, shareholders of United Bancorporation of Alabama, have formally requested the appointment of their representatives as independent directors. They cite a lack of progress on capital allocation, expense control, and board expertise despite prolonged engagement and shareholder support.
