ExxonMobil shareholders are scheduled to vote on May 27 on a proposal to change the company's legal domicile from New Jersey to Texas. The energy company has issued statements and SEC filings opposing recommendations from proxy advisory firms Glass Lewis and ISS.
Those firms advised shareholders to vote against the proposal, citing potential effects on written consent procedures and shareholder rights.
