NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (NYSE: SPLP) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Superior Court of New Jersey dismissed attorney Michael MacManus’s claim of age discrimination in the matter of Michael MacManus vs. Steel Services, Ltd. following a court hearing on August 29, 2024 regarding the Company’s motion for summary judgment.

“We’re very happy that the New Jersey courts agree that the culture of Steel Partners is inclusive and open” said Warren Lichtenstein, chairman and founder of Steel Partners. “There is no scenario in which we would discriminate against an employee for their age or any other protected characteristic.”
