GREENWICH, Conn. -- (Business Wire)

Today, Mill Road Capital II, L.P. issued the following open letter to the Class A shareholders of Ecology and Environment, Inc.

To Our Fellow Class A Shareholders of Ecology and Environment, Inc.:

As you may be aware, Thursday, April 20, 2017 is the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Ecology and Environment, Inc. (Nasdaq: EEI). You likely have received the company’s proxy materials asking you to elect two directors nominated by EEI as Class A directors to the Board of Directors by returning the company’s white proxy card.

STOP

We strongly urge shareholders: do NOT respond to any solicitation made by the company and do NOT return a white proxy card. The Annual Meeting is over one month away and you will have a choice for the leadership of EEI. Even if you have already voted, you can still change your vote at any time.

LOOK

You will soon receive our definitive proxy materials including our GREEN proxy card. Mill Road has nominated two Class A directors to the Board of EEI as alternatives to the candidates nominated by the Board. Our candidates are Justin C. Jacobs and Michael El-Hillow. We urge you to review our definitive proxy materials before casting your vote.

LISTEN

Mill Road believes that the experience and talents of Mr. Jacobs and Mr. El-Hillow make them desirable candidates for election as Class A directors. Mill Road further believes that the Nominees’ election to the Board would help EEI address its declining share price and improve its performance. Our candidates have proven track records of improving operating performance and increasing shareholder value. Our candidates also bring a deep understanding of the financial markets and experience successfully closing and integrating acquisitions. One of our candidates, Mr. El-Hillow is a completely independent nominee with no affiliation with Mill Road.

You deserve the opportunity to review all proxy materials and decide for yourself who will best serve your interests as shareholders. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our proxy solicitor, InvestorCom, toll-free at (877) 972-0090. We appreciate your consideration.

Respectfully,

Mill Road Capital II, L.P.
