Nestle SA was nominating three new independent directors to its board on Thursday, seven months after activist investor Dan Loeb, criticised the world's biggest food company as being "stuck in its old ways."

Ryanair Holdings Plc appeared to move a step closer to resolving a long-running battle with pilots over wages and conditions after air crew in the company's 15 UK bases, including its biggest base at London Stansted, accepted pay increases of up to 20 percent.

Scandal-hit South African retailer Steinhoff was in talks with banks to secure additional financing and a temporary waiver over credit covenants in a move to "meet business critical payments' and keep the company afloat. (Compiled by Bengaluru newsroom; Editing by Sandra Maler)
