Vote deadline looms for Equitable Life members

Members of troubled mutual Equitable Life have until tomorrow to cast their postal votes in a compromise deal which aims to solve the society’s Stg£1.06bn (€1.7bn) pensions liability.

Policyholders must return voting forms to Equitable by January 9 or vote in person at its extraordinary general meeting this Friday if they are to have their say in the fate of the world’s oldest life assurer.
