Proxy advisor Glass Lewis calls on Daimler investors to abstain from vote on boards
FRANKFURT, June 25 (Reuters) - Proxy advisor Glass Lewis on Thursday recommended Daimler shareholders abstain from this year's vote over the business conduct of the carmaker's executive and non-executive boards, citing ongoing investigations.
In an excerpt of a report made available to Reuters, weekly WirtschaftsWoche earlier erroneously said that Glass Lewis had recommended to vote no.
