I-RES Notes Glass Lewis Recommendation to Vote AGAINST All Resolutions at Forthcoming EGM

 

Proxy advisors Glass Lewis and ISS have now both recommended shareholders reject all of Vision’s proposals

 

Irish Residential Properties REIT plc (“I-RES”) notes the report issued by a leading corporate governance advisor, Glass Lewis, which has recommended that shareholders vote AGAINST ALL resolutions proposed by Vision Capital Corporation (“Vision”) at the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) scheduled for 16 February 2024.

The I-RES Board continues to recommend Shareholders vote against all resolutions proposed by Vision and urges  Shareholders to cast their votes at their earliest convenience to ensure their votes are received before the EGM.
