Lew tells Myer board to resign or else after chairman's shock departure Billionaire retailer Solomon Lew has told the directors of department store Myer to step down or face dismissal following the resignation of chairman Garry Hounsell just hours before the company's annual general meeting on Thursday.

"In the interests of all shareholders, we expect the remaining Myer directors will now indicate their intention to step aside in an orderly manner or face an extraordinary general meeting at which they will be certainly dismissed," he said.
