MediaBuyerPlanner: As expected, French corporate raider Vincent Bollore has requested that Aegis Group convene an emergency shareholder meeting, sources say.
Bollore, who owns 29 percent of Aegis’s shares, has been trying to gain a foothold on the Aegis board, but the shareholders denied his nominations for two board seats in June. Now, he has asked for a meeting and, though Aegis has not received the required formal notification that would require it to schedule such a meeting, that notification is expected soon, Adweek reports.
