What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) recommended that stockholders withhold support from incumbent directors Ian Read and Orn Olason regarding Empery Digital's board elections. ISS concluded that ATG Capital had made a compelling case for change at Empery Digital. The firm stated that the Board's rejection of ATG Capital's nominees was an "Unjustified Substitution of the Board's Judgment for That of Shareholders” and that the Board's functioning had been "Less Than Robust."
