Lululemon's board filed definitive proxy materials that recommend shareholders vote on the white card against founder Chip Wilson's director nominees. Wilson is conducting a campaign using a gold proxy card. He seeks changes to the board structure that he states have reduced the brand's premium positioning.

The board attributed the breakdown to what it described as escalating demands from the founder. Lululemon shares have declined 40 percent year to date. The company has reported flat-to-declining same-store sales in the Americas.

The board has expressed support for incoming CEO Heidi O'Neill, a Nike veteran, to restore brand positioning. Wilson has called for a product-centered overhaul of the board. Shareholders will vote on June 25.
