Burton Capital Management Increases Ownership of Cenveo
Burton Capital Management LLC, Greenwich, Conn., and other members of its group filed this week an amendment to its Schedule 13D with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings reflect the group's increased ownership of Englewood, Colo.-based Cenveo™ Inc., from 9.6 percent to approximately 10.8 percent of the outstanding common stock, according to the company's web site (at press time).

The move comes after Cenveo's board of directors last week responded to a letter from Burton Capital Management, a stockholder in Cenveo. In the letter, Robert G. Burton Sr., chairman, CEO and managing member of Burton Capital Management, said, "We are very concerned about the current state of Cenveo, and believe that significant changes are required to put the Company on the right track in order to create shareholder value." In its response, Cenveo's board said, "While we disagree with virtually all of the assertions made in your letter, we agree that the stock of Cenveo has been significantly undervalued by the market at large." Burton was the chairman, president and CEO of Moore Corporation Limited through December 2002. According to the company web site, Burton generated an annual internal rate of return of 139 percent during his tenure at Moore. Previously, he was Chairman, President and CEO of World Color Press Inc., where he led its merger with Quebecor Printing Inc.
