07:16 AM EST, 01/07/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Institutional Shareholder Services, or ISS, recommended that Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust (EWI.L) shareholders vote against all of Saba Capital Management's proposals at the trust's general meeting on Jan. 20, according to a Wednesday release. Saba, which owns a 30% stake in the investment trust, is seeking to oust all six independent nonexecutive directors of the trust and appoint three US-based individuals it nominated. Edinburgh Worldwide's board already urged shareholders to reject Saba's proposals. "For a second time within a year, independent voting adviser ISS has recommended that shareholders vote against ALL of Saba's resolutions. Shareholders should not be swayed by Saba misrepresenting the facts, ignoring the significant progress made following the implementation of the path for growth strategy and remaining silent on their ultimate objectives," Edinburgh Worldwide Chair Jonathan Simpson-Dent said.
