Gibbons | | Management | | For | | Withhold | | Withhold on the reelection of Mr Gibbons. He is independent under Nasdaq rules but is a former exec so his presence on the nomination & governance committee is not ideal. This is the same issue as we faced with the reelection of Jandernoa last year, on which we engaged with the company. Mr Jandernoa still serves on the compensation committee so there has been no progress. However, the board is majority independent (even excluding the former execs which the co classifies as independent) so will abstain on this and write again to the company. Next year can take a stronger stance and vote against. |

One of them is classified as non-independent but will serve on the audit committee, which is not best practice for a developed market. We could argue for a vote against on the grounds that the company is still not unbundling nor publishing agenda in English despite engagement on both issues, but since we have no concerns with the directors and the company has told us that Iris is in effect independent just not classified as such, we will abstain again. This was discussed with the company at recent meeting and we made our points about independence on the audit committee and unbundling. |
