Wise's U.S. move proposals face fresh opposition from shareholder advisers
By Elizabeth Howcroft (Reuters) -A shareholder adviser group, Glass Lewis, expressed new concerns about UK-based money transfer company Wise's plans to change its primary listing to the U.S., just days before a shareholder meeting, and another adviser, PIRC, said that it opposed the plans. In a statement made public on Monday, Wise's second-biggest shareholder, Skaala Investments, urged other shareholders to vote against proposals to move the company's primary listing to the U.S. from London, because the plans also included an extension to its dual share structure, which it said was "buried" in the proposals. On Tuesday, shareholder adviser Glass Lewis updated its report in light of Skaala's statement, and added its own concerns about the proposed extension of the dual share structure, according to a copy of the report seen by Reuters. Glass Lewis said in its report that share structures with unequal voting rights are "typically not in the best interests of common shareholders" and that it was "concerned" by the structure being extended. But, it said, the governance issue alone was not enough for it to recommend voting against Wise's U.S. move proposal overall, which it still supported. "DISPROPORTIONATE POWER" Skaala had said that the changes to the shareholder structure would entrench "disproportionate power in the hands of a few", including Wise's CEO. A spokesperson for Wise said on Monday that shareholders were "overwhelmingly in favour" of the proposal and that its process was fair. Wise cited the backing of proxy advisors including ISS, Glass Lewis and PIRC, and said that the dual-class share structure is essential for the company's success. On Wednesday, a spokesperson for PIRC said that Wise's statement was incorrect, and that it had expressed its opposition to Wise's plans in a report on July 15. PIRC's report recommends voting against the proposals, on the grounds that the move "raises concerns about a reduced commitment to UK corporate governance standards." "UK listing regime offers strong shareholder protections, disclosure requirements, and board accountability. Relocating to jurisdictions with less stringent oversight may weaken these safeguards," said PIRC's report, which was seen by Reuters. A spokesperson for Wise said that the company only became aware of PIRC's opposition on Wednesday, and that it maintains that shareholders are still "overwhelmingly in favour" of the plans. ISS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Shareholders are voting on the issue ahead of a meeting on Monday 28 July.

Liverpool signs Ekitiké from Frankfurt and takes offseason spending to $342 million
Liverpool signed France forward Hugo Ekitiké from Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday to continue the Premier League champion's offseason spending spree. Ekitiké is Liverpool's latest big-money signing after Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez — taking its outlay to around $342 million. The 23-year-old Ekitiké has joined for a fee of 69 million pounds ($93.5 million) and signed a six-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because details have not been made public, said the fee could rise by a further 10 million pounds ($13.5 million). Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been busy strengthening a team that won its record-equaling 20th English league title last season — in particular in attack. Wirtz, signed from Bayer Leverkusen last month for a fee that could rise to a British record 116 million pounds ($156 million), is considered one of the brightest talents in Europe. And Etikité is another player who has shone in Germany after leaving Paris Saint-Germain last year. He scored 22 in 48 appearances in his one full season with Frankfurt, which has made a big profit on him after buying him for a reported $19 million last year. Ekitiké's move comes weeks after Liverpool forward Diogo Jota died in a car accident in Spain. There is uncertainty about the future of other Liverpool forwards Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, who have both been targeted by teams in Europe during the offseason. The Merseyside club has not retained a league title since winning three in a row between 1982 and '84, which was before the inception of the Premier League. It is likely to face challenges from Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, who have all been active in the transfer market since the end of the season. Ekitiké is the latest big-money departure from Frankfurt after forward Omar Marmoush joined Man City for a reported $73 million in January. Marmoush was the team's top-scorer at the time, but Ekitiké responded with his best performances in a Frankfurt shirt to help the team finish third in the Bundesliga for Champions League qualification. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:
