Matthew Stevenson, President and CEO of Blue Bird Corporation,
is leaving the Company for personal reasons. Mr. Stevenson has also
exited his position on the Board of Directors.
“I am delighted that Phil will be resuming his position as
President and CEO of Blue Bird,” said Kevin Penn, Chairman of the

of the school bus industry and the Company to this role. During

instrumental in driving Blue Bird to develop Electric Powered
School Buses and to establish a leadership position in the delivery
of these buses. It’s great to have Phil leading Blue Bird once
again.”

leadership position at Blue Bird’s headquarters.
