- Shareholder proxy firm ISS recommends activist investor Nelson Peltz for a spot on DuPont's (DD +3.1%) board, plus one other nominee put forward by Peltz's Trian Fund Management.
- "This is not a broken company - but there is compelling evidence that the dissidents are onto something in their critique," ISS says following last week's release of disappointing Q1 results.
- DuPont and Trian have tried to make offers to settle the increasingly bitter proxy fight over the company's future, but both sides have been steadfast on whether Peltz deserves a seat on the board.
