Nokia shareholders have thrown their toys of the pram, demanding that the company’s CEO, Stephen Elop, hands in his resignation.
Following Elop’s newly-formed Microsoft alliance, a group of nine Nokia shareholders have issued an open letter to his company, labelled “Plan B”. No, it’s not a letter declaring their love for the British rapper-come-actor, it instead demands for the ex-Microsoft chief to resign from Nokia.
The letter criticises the newly-formed Nokia/Windows Phone partnership, asking for the platform to be dropped as the company’s primary OS. Instead, they are proposing that MeeGo be reinstated as the primary platform, and that Symbian should be “guaranteed for a minimum of five years.”
In the letter, the group demands that Nokia executives “Return the company to a strategy that seeks high growth and high profit margins through innovation and overwhelmingly superior products and unrivaled user experience”.
The shareholders are intending to present Plan B at the company’s next general meeting on May 3rd this year.
