Cadwalader advised M&G Investment Management in its agreement to add two new directors to the board of Methanex Corporation.
Methanex Corporation announced last Friday that it had entered into an agreement with its largest shareholder M&G Investment Management pursuant to which Methanex will add two new directors to its Board.
Methanex will nominate Paul Dobson for election to the Board at its upcoming 2019 annual general meeting in place of Howard Balloch, the longest serving incumbent independent director. A second new director selected from a list provided by M&G will join the Board shortly following that meeting. The risk committee will be reorganized to include Paul Dobson and Methanex has agreed to retain an independent financial advisory firm to assist in its financial review of a potential third methanol plant in Geismar, Louisiana.
The Financial Times reported the agreement at: https://www.ft.com/content/654da6b0-5d53-11e9-939a-341f5ada9d40.
M&G Investment Management is a UK-based institutional money manager with approximately $338 billion of assets under management.
