Fortis chiefs hit by shoes and voting machine at EGM

Attendees booed and shouted at directors, threw shoes and coins at the podium, stormed the stage, sang the Marseillaise and walked out in disgust at the sale of Fortis. Angry shareholders forced the adjournment of an extraordinary meeting in Ghent, held to vote on the controversial sale of the now-nationalised Belgian arm of Fortis for a fraction of its once €40bn (£36bn) value. Investors demanded the resignation of the entire board. IFAonline
