Billionaire John Paulson’s hedge fund said Detour Gold Corp.’s plan to hold a shareholders meeting in December to vote on its slate of nominees to replace the miner’s board was “inexcusable.”

On Monday, Detour saidBloomberg Terminal it would hold a special shareholders meeting on Dec. 11 after it was requisitioned by Paulson & Co. On Tuesday, the hedge fund called that “the latest entrenchment tactic.”
