I se ISS recommendations out i wasn’t expecting them to support any of the boarding party they usually are supportive of incumbent managements , so them recommending support for one of TH nominees is a bit of a surprise. I think it reflects the lack of independence evident on the board and the need for new independent directors.The accompanying statement on relative experience made me smile as to why Turcan was appointed..no relevant industry experience no litigation experience and only served on the board for 13 months..just got inside the tent to protect LOAM interests and sell their holding down? How very supportive!
Their tone is still tone deaf!
‘If Mr Eric Achtmann, who ISS have recommended as the only nominee with the closest background to the business and technical experience required to be considered an appropriate non-executive director candidate, wishes to participate in this process, we would consider his application in the usual way.”
The usual way previously seems to have been to ask LOAM and RG who they want on the board hence the lack of any perceived independence. Needs more transparency in any process and vitally a new Chair to oversee it .
