TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Proxy adviser Glass Lewis has recommended Telecom Italia (TIM) (TLIT.MI) investors back a proposal by activist fund Elliott to replace six board members and shake up the way top shareholder Vivendi (VIV.PA) runs the phone group, a document showed.
Elliott, which wants to improve governance and performance at TIM, has built a potential holding of 5.7 percent in the company. Last month, it called for six Vivendi-nominated board members, including TIM Chairman and Vivendi CEO Arnaud de Puyfontaine, to be replaced through a vote on April 24.
