Summary: Generalizing a particular case of a result by Kerchy (2007) for contractions, the following was proved by the author: if $T$ is a polynomially bounded operator and there exists a transformation with dense range which intertwines $T$ with the bilateral shift of multiplicity $1$, then there exists an invariant subspace $\mathcal M$ of $T$ such that $T|_{\mathcal M}$ is similar to the unilateral shift of multiplicity $1$. In the present paper, several corollaries of this result are given. In particular, reflexivity of polynomially bounded operators described above is proved.
