At management's request, Longview will discuss any votes cast against management.
Where Longview becomes aware of a governance issue, or has concerns that the company’s management is not acting in shareholders’ interests, we are willing to challenge management in an attempt to protect and enhance the interests of our clients and will exercise our right to vote against management, where appropriate. Furthermore, if after lengthy discussions we believed that management was failing to act in shareholders’ interests, we would reduce our Quality rating to Q3 and sell our holding in order to minimise the loss of shareholder value.
