Pharmion, based in Boulder, says that all four major proxy-advisory services have recommended shareholders vote in favor of its merger with Celgene.
"We are pleased that ISS, as well as the other leading independent proxy advisory firms - Glass Lewis & Co., PROXY Governance and Egan-Jones Proxy Services - have all recognized the strategic and economic logic of our merger with Celgene," said Patrick Mahaffy, Pharmion's president and chief executive officer.
The deal comes to a vote March 6.
