Impax Environmental Markets PLC - London-based investor of companies mitigating environmental risks - Notes that leading independent proxy advisers have recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions to re‑elect the current board at the annual general meeting on June 17 and against the Saba resolutions. Saba wants to replace the board with its nominees at the requisitioned general meeting to be held immediately after the AGM.
