Leading late edition, the standoff between the board of retailer Coles Meyer and its biggest investors.
Shareholders who control one-fifth of the company say they've waited too long for changes to the board.
But the board today rejected demands to replace its chairman and key directors.
Pressure has been building since last month's news of the so-called Yannan transaction involving interests associated with the company's chairman,
Solomon Liu.
The institutions want Mr. Liu replaced along with his deputy, Will Bailey, and executive board members.
But late today, a statement from the chairman made it clear the company won't rush any changes.
He says the board is considering a range of views. While major investors are important, they're not necessarily representative of the entire share register.
And arbitrary timeframes won't serve shareholders' interests.
Solomon Liu refers specifically to smaller shareholders who may hold a different view.
However, certainly some of those smaller shareholders want the same changes at Coles Meyer as the big investors.
The main problems that concern our members are the potential for conflict of interest arising out of the related party transactions.
And they see that the solution to that would be to have an independent chairman and a greater number of independent directors.

It's absolutely untrue.
All the process of the seizure of the ships has been supervised by the and organized by the French justice according to the French law and along the French legal procedures.
