AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Philips shareholders voted against the company's executive compensation plan at the annual shareholders' meeting on Tuesday, ANP reported, in a protest over the company's recent poor results and product recalls.

Although the vote was non-binding, Chairman Feike Sijbesma said he would take the result seriously, the agency reported.

The merger, which is being reviewed by EU antitrust authorities, would create a new publishing behemoth via the combination of France's two biggest publishing groups, Hachette and Editis. The tie-up is contested by several independent publishing companies in France and would make Vivendi the world's third-biggest publisher after Bertelsmann's Penguin Random House and News Corp-owned HarperCollins.

Georgieva's remarks echoed a prominent concern overhanging this week's delayed reboot of the annual gathering of global business and government leaders in the Swiss Alps: That events like Russia's invasion of Ukraine is indicative that the era of globalization that had prevailed for the past three decades is on its last legs.
