Former Olympus President and CEO Michael Woodford reacts as he speaks to the media after attending Olympus Corp's extraordinary shareholder meeting in Tokyo April 20, 2012. Shareholders of Olympus Corp voted in a new board on Friday but Woodford, whose dismissal six months ago unveiled the biggest scandal in corporate Japan for decades, threatened to have the result annulled. Woodford was sacked by Olympus in October after he queried staggeringly high advisory fees paid in past acquisitions, triggering a probe that uncovered a $1.7 billion accounting fraud stretching back over more than a decade. Olympus said then it fired Woodford for "gross misconduct". REUTERS/Toru Hanai (JAPAN - Tags: BUSINESS HEADSHOT)
