Nationwide members demand “clarity and balance” on proposed Virgin Money deal and rationale for denying vote
The campaign to “Give Nationwide Members a Say on the purchase of Virgin Money” accuses Nationwide of “poor communication and misleading statements” regarding the deal, and requests that Nationwide be “open and honest” with membership regarding the inherent costs and risks of the proposed acquisition. Further, after the society revealed that it is denying members a vote on a technicality, the campaign challenges the “legal safety” of the Nationwide board’s opinion, effectively disenfranchising 16 million Nationwide members.
