Biglari's not-so-magic number: 1,540,568
The above number is how many shares Cracker Barrel shareholders not named or affiliated with Sardar Biglari voted in favor of the activist investor's bid for a board seat at the local restaurant and retail chain. That's only about a third of the support Biglari won a year ago. Also, note two ironic details in the final vote tallies from last week's shareholder meeting: President and CEO Sandy Cochran received the most votes of any director candidate and Biglari actually received 463 fewer shares than did his No. 2, Phil Cooley.
