According to the ICGN’s Global Governance Principles, which of the following would raise questions about the independence of a member of the board of directors? The director:选项:
A.has been a member of the board for the last 3 years.
B.acted as the company’s executive before joining the board of directors.
C.has over 10 years of experience with one of the company’s competitors.
解释:
B is correct. According to the ICGN Global Governance Principles, investors might question the independence of directors who used to be executives of the company if there “was not an appropriate gap between their employment and joining the board.” Independence might be questioned if directors’ tenures are too long, usually over 10 years, but some countries’ codes might limit maximum tenures to as little as 5 to 7 years. A tenure of 3 years would not raise questions absent other information. There is no principle of questioning independence where the board member was recruited from competitors.题干意思是不是指股东哪种情况不能保持其独立性?
