Lew steps up attack

SOLOMON Lew’s Premier Investments is planning to ratchet up its campaign to oust the directors of department store chain Myer.

In a letter to Myer investors yesterday, Mr Lew said the feedback at the retailer’s annual meeting this month, and “second strike” vote against its remuneration report, signalled the board was no longer in touch with shareholders.

At the annual meeting, shareholders rejected a motion to spill the board, although the motion received a 38 per cent vote of support.
