Shareholder to vote against Fisher Communications' 'excessive' equity incentive plan

By Lisa Kerner

Charlotte, N.C., March 28 - Fisher Communications, Inc. investors led by TowerView LLC called the company's proposed equity incentive plan "excessive and egregious."

The shareholders, with a 9.2% ownership interest, intend to vote against the plan, which covers more than 12% of Fisher Communications' outstanding common stock, according to a schedule 13D filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

TowerView feels that the plan shows a disregard for shareholder value, the filing stated.

The investors may enter into discussions with other stockholders about the equity incentive plan and other issues of concern.

Seattle-based Fisher Communications owns television and radio stations.
