Norfolk Southern Shareholders Vote On CEO's Future, Deny Activist Investor's Overhaul Plan
Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC) shares are trading lower on Thursday after the company's shareholders voted to retain Chief Executive Alan Shaw.
諾福克南方公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：NSC）股價週四走低，此前該公司的股東投票決定保留首席執行官艾倫·肖。
Shareholders of the freight railroad voted on whether to retain Shaw as CEO or back an activist investor's bid for a management overhaul and board control.
貨運鐵路的股東們就保留肖擔任首席執行官還是支持激進投資者提出的管理改革和董事會控制權的申請進行了投票。
Voting took place at the shareholder meeting in Atlanta on Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported.
據《華爾街日報》報道，週四在亞特蘭大舉行的股東大會上進行了投票。
Ancora Holdings, the activist investor, has voiced strong critique against Norfolk's operational and financial performance, the Journal added.
《華爾街日報》補充說，激進投資者安科拉控股公司對諾福克的運營和財務表現表示強烈批評。
Additionally, Ancora has condemned the company's response to a train derailment in Ohio, pushing for the replacement of key executives and advocating for seven board seats out of 13.
此外，安科拉譴責了該公司對俄亥俄州火車出軌事件的回應，要求更換主要高管，並主張在13個董事會席位中佔有7個席位。
"We have repeatedly stated a desire to settle for minority change of the board and an orderly CEO transition, which appears inevitable at this point given fading confidence in Mr. Shaw," Ancora said in a statement Monday, The Wall Street Journal noted.
《華爾街日報》指出：“我們一再表示希望實現董事會少數股權更迭和首席執行官的有序過渡，鑑於對肖先生的信心減弱，這在目前看來是不可避免的。”
Despite calls for change, Norfolk Southern's latest press release indicates that Shaw and 10 other director nominees were elected to the board, alongside three nominees proposed by Ancora Alternatives LLC. This outcome suggests a complex shareholder dynamic and ongoing tension within the company's leadership.
儘管有人呼籲變革，但諾福克南方航空的最新新聞稿顯示，肖和其他10名董事候選人當選爲董事會成員，Ancora Alternatives LLC提出的三名候選人也當選爲董事會成員。這一結果表明了複雜的股東動態和公司領導層內部持續的緊張局勢。
