A group representing Australian pension funds calling for Rupert Murdoch to relinquish the dual role of chairman and chief executive officer at News Corp. met with independent board director Rod Eddington to discuss their concerns.
The meeting last week sought to ensure that interests of minority shareholders are represented at News Corp., said Ann Byrne, CEO of the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors, whose members have about A$300 billion ($317 billion) of investments.
