The board of Fortis has convened a meeting for tomorrow to discuss the angry reaction by retail shareholders and their industry association to last month's announcement of an €8bn ($12.6bn) plan to restore its capital ratios.

On June 26, Fortis announced €8bn in solvency measures, including €1.5bn in the form of an equity placement, the freezing of a €1.3bn interim dividend and €2bn-worth of asset disposals.
