Barclays Plc’s shareholders shouldn’t vote to re-elect Jes Staley to the board after the chief executive officer embroiled the bank in scandal by trying to identify a whistle-blower in violation of the firm’s code of conduct, a proxy adviser said.

Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. said abstaining is appropriate until industry watchdogs complete their probes into Staley’s behavior, while those who are required to vote for or against should oppose the re-election. The CEO faces investors at the bank’s annual general meeting in London on May 10.

“Jes Staley is now under investigation by U.K. regulators as to his individual conduct and senior manager responsibilities,221; ISS said in a report Thursday. “Given his personal involvement and accountability in this matter, and given the importance of his role as the group CEO, an abstention on his re-election is considered appropriate.”

Barclays’s board publicly reprimanded the CEO this month after discovering he had tried to unmask the whistle-blower even after he was told it was inappropriate. The whistle-blower had raised concerns in an anonymous letter about the hiring of a top banker last year.

That banker was Tim Main, a former colleague of Staley’s at JPMorgan Chase & Co., people familiar with the matter said. Staley may have to forfeit his entire 1.3 million-pound 2016 bonus over the scandal.

Probes by the Bank of England’s Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority will take several months and could result in anything from a verbal warning to Staley losing his status as an approved person and therefore his ability to run the bank. The events are also under scrutiny by the Department of Financial Services in New York and the U.S. Department of Justice, according to a people with knowledge of the matter.

ISS advised shareholders to vote to in favor of all other board members, but highlighted the “significant external time commitments” of non-executive director Ian Cheshire, who was named chairman of Barclays’s ringfenced U.K. business in February and started this month.

The proxy adviser had no major issues with the bank’s remuneration report and recommended investors approve executives’ compensation packages.

Barclays Plc breached its 50 day moving average in a Bullish Manner

[bernie37] 27/4/2017 10:39

Overview
It trades at a lower Price/Book multiple (0.59) than its peer median (1.03).
The market expects faster earnings growth from BARC-GB than from its peers and also a turnaround in its current ROE.
BARC-GB employs relatively high amounts of capital while generating median profit margins.
Changes in annual earnings (relative to peers) are better than the change in its revenues (relative to peers), implying the company is focused more on earnings.
BARC-GB's return on equity currently and over the past five years has trailed the peer median and suggests the company might be operationally challenged relative to its peers.
The company's lending operations do not seem to benefit from any differentiating pricing advantage or an operating cost advantage relative to peers.
While BARC-GB's revenues have increased slower than peer median, the market currently gives the company a higher than peer median P/E ratio and may be factoring in some sort of a strategic play.
The company's relatively low level of equity capital investment and below peer median returns on capital suggest that the company is in maintenance mode.
