Ancora Holdings Group, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Ancora” or “we”) today disclosed the below letter sent to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CSX Corporation (NASDAQ: CSX) (“CSX” or the “Company”) on August 6, 2025. Since sending this letter via private channels, CSX has ignored us and not even confirmed receipt of our correspondence.

All of this leads us to fear that the Company’s Board is exhibiting poor judgment, insufficient oversight and undermining shareholders’ best interests.
