Oasis Management halved its director nominees to two for VAIL RESORTS INC following pressure to boost its share price. The hedge fund holds a 9.6% stake in the resort operator, making it the fourth-largest shareholder. The proxy fight comes as the company commands a market value of $5.4B amid a 60% stock decline over the past five years.
