British shareholder advisory firm recommends voting for Shell-BG deal

Reuters

LONDON (Reuters) - British shareholder advisory firm PIRC on Thursday recommended investors vote in favour of Royal Dutch Shell's (RDSa.L) $48 billion (33.33 billion pound) acquisition of BG Group (BG.L) later this month.

"The rationale for the proposed acquisition has been clearly disclosed and does not raise any concerns," PIRC said in a note to investors.
