US activist investor Saba, which owns just under 30% of EWIT, has called for the trust to oust its entire board - six directors - and replace them with three of its own US-based nominees.
Chair Jonathan Simpson-Dent said: "We are pleased to note the conclusions of Glass Lewis and ISS who both recommend that shareholders vote against all of Saba's resolutions. We are also pleased to see Legal & General come out to publicly support the board and its intention to vote against all of Saba's proposals."
Simpson-Dent will be hosting a Q&A later on Friday to give shareholders the chance to ask any questions they may have about Saba's proposed resolutions.
