CHICAGO-Simon Property Group, Inc. is asking the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow Taubman Centers, Inc. shareholders to hold a special meeting to consider its $18-per-share offer.

Simon Property Group announced its proxy effort after the close of business Monday, when Taubman Centers stock closed at $16.38 per share.
