'First strike' for DJs over executive pay DAVID Jones shareholders have put the retailer's board on notice, delivering a "first strike" against its remuneration report and a massive protest vote against an issue of free shares for outgoing chief Paul Zahra. The company's annual general meeting saw 39.5 per cent of shares voted against the remuneration report, after proxy advisers ISS and CGI Glass Lewis complained that the company was not sufficiently clear on how it paid short-term incentives.
