West Sacramento, Calif., Oct. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CalSTRS Director of Corporate Governance Anne Sheehan made the following statement regarding the organization’s intent to support the nomination of Nelson Peltz to the board of directors at Proctor & Gamble (NYSE:PG).
“CalSTRS has expressed its intention to support Nelson Peltz, CEO and Founding Partner of Trian Fund Management, in his nomination to the Procter & Gamble board. CalSTRS holds close to 5.6 million shares of P&G stock valued at approximately $508 million and has been an investor with Trian since April 2011.
