Board of Directors

Hubbell Incorporated

40 Waterview Drive

Shelton, CT 06484

Dear Board of Directors:

We write to you as a significant shareholder of the super-voting class of Hubbell, Inc. The intent of this letter is to open a dialog between Hubbell’s shareholders and its executive leadership in order to explore alternatives to the company’s problematic equity capital structure. While we cheer your leadership and acumen in directing Hubbell’s outstanding growth and development over the past five years, we remain concerned that Hubbell’s dual class equity arrangement is anchoring the company’s stock price. We believe collapsing the share class structure is the most practical remedy. We understand that much of your time is devoted to strategic issues related to growing the business so our intent is to shoulder some of the burden and build shareholder consensus about this issue, which may not be front and center in the board meetings.

We understand the utility of a dual class equity structure when the company’s founder is an integral part of the business’s growth strategy. We believe it can serve a practical purpose under this circumstance, but that time has long passed. Since the Hubbell family is no longer involved in the operations of the company, and past public filings relating to litigation between the family and the company show the family may desire liquidity, we think it makes sense to collapse the two share classes into one. We see no practical purpose for maintaining two classes of stock. Instead we have seen evidence that suggests both classes of Hubbell stockholders may be harmed by the dual class structure.

First, both classes of stock are relatively illiquid. As I write this letter, the 30 day average volume of HUB.A and HUB.B is 1,056 and 157,432, respectively. Should the board move forward and collapse the share structure, it would increase HUB.B shares outstanding by 14% which should improve the liquidity for B holders and it is obvious that liquidity will improve vastly for the A holders. The free float may improve as well because the Hubbell family would have a much greater opportunity to achieve liquidity that it desires.

Second, there is significant empirical evidence that suggests negative valuation and return effects exist for stocks that have a dual-class equity structure. Extreme Governance: An Analysis on Dual-Class Firms in the United States demonstrates that firm valuation is negatively affected by a divergence between cash flow rights and voting rights (the “WEDGE” factor defined as voting rights minus cash flow rights)¹. In other words, the greater the difference between the insiders’ (who own a significant position) voting rights and its rights to cash flow (i.e., dividends), the more it harms the company’s stock price. Another study completed by the IRRC Institute, New Study Says Multiclass Voting Companies Underperform illustrates that companies with two classes of shares, both of which are traded publicly, underperform over most time periods measured2. This evidence gives us reason to believe Hubbell’s stock would have achieved a higher valuation and greater returns if the company had one equity share class. It is a shame the stock price has been weighed down by the equity capital structure given the company’s outstanding operational performance, especially through the Great Recession. That said, we can take practical steps to solve this problem and all shareholders would benefit.

We believe that collapsing the dual class equity structure is the most practical solution to this problem, and it appears the company’s charter would not be restrictive. As a significant shareholder of the A shares, we would be willing to give up the excess voting power the A shares provide in exchange for the liquidity and elimination of the current discount that a single class equity structure would provide. Meanwhile, B holders would benefit from the increased relative voting power of their shares and increased liquidity. Both shareholder groups would benefit from an increased valuation that, according to the studies cited above, should materialize by elimination of the dual class structure. Because both groups of shareholders would stand to benefit, we recommend the board of directors include a provision that would collapse the share class structure at the next annual meeting.

We are open to exploring alternative remedies (there are several) if eliminating the dual class structure is implausible. Thank you.

Regards,

Fred DiSanto
