ISS recommends JKX shareholders vote against all Proxima resolutions
The Board of JKX Oil & Gas Plc announces that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), the global leader in corporate governance, has recommended that JKX shareholders should vote AGAINST all resolutions proposed by Proxima Capital Group ("Proxima") at the requisitioned General Meeting on 28 January 2016.
ISS recommendations confirm the Board's view that Proxima has not presented a justifiable case for its proposals. Accordingly, ISS concludes that support for Proxima's requests is not warranted.
