Independent shareholders have been recommended to vote for a buyout of Seaspan Corp parent Atlas Corp that will see the group delisted in New York.
Leading proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis have swung their weight behind the $10.9bn takeover launched by Poseidon Acquisition Corp last year.
The companies make recommendations to subscribers, including institutional investors, and can therefore exert a big influence on votes.
