* Bramson urges shareholders to vote for changes
* Says Electra directors should reconsider opposition
LONDON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Rebel investor Edward Bramson hascalled on directors of Electra Private Equity toreconsider their opposition to his plan to shake up thecompany's management.
Electra said in September that Bramson's Sherborne Investors had requested a vote on proposals to appoint the NewYork-based activist investor and Sherborne nominee Ian Brindle,former UK chairman of PwC, to its six-member board.
Electra has opposed the plan.
In a letter to Electra's shareholders ahead of a shareholdermeeting on Nov. 5, Bramson urged them to vote in favour of theproposals.
"The hostile reactions of the investment manager and theboard seem disproportionate to a proposal by a long-termshareholder to nominate a small minority of qualified directorsto Electra's board," he said.
"We continue to hope that the directors will reconsidertheir unwarranted opposition to our nominees."
Electra Private Equity, owner of restaurant chain TGI Fridayand Park Resorts, has been in a long-running dispute with itslargest shareholder over issues of performance, governance andits relationship with Electra Partners, the firm contracted tomanage its investments.
Bramson attempted to secure a seat on the board lastOctober, but only around 11 percent of independent Electrainvestors backed his proposals.
