ISS Recommends That Post Properties Shareholders Vote AGAINST John Williams' Bylaw Amendment Proposal ATLANTA, May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Post Properties, Inc. , an Atlanta-based real estate investment trust, today released the following comment on the recommendation by Institutional Shareholders Services Inc. (ISS) that shareholders of Post Properties should vote AGAINST John Williams' Bylaw amendment proposal at Post Properties' annual meeting on May 27, 2004. The proposal would require an annual shareholder vote on director compensation. ISS is widely recognized as the nation's leading independent proxy voting and corporate governance advisory firm. Its analyses and recommendations are relied upon by hundreds of major institutional investment firms, mutual funds and fiduciaries throughout the United States. Robert C. Goddard III, Chairman of the Board of Post Properties, stated, "We are gratified that ISS, a truly independent expert on corporate governance matters, has recommended a vote against the Williams bylaw proposal. ISS has come to the same conclusion that we did -- asking shareholders to get involved in board compensation issues is not good governance."
