CBT’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) is two months away. Patrick Weeze is a portfolio manager who owns a significant number of CBT shares in his portfolio. His fund is a concentrated portfolio with high idiosyncratic risk and, as a result, Patrick believes that a detailed analysis of the governance of each of his portfolio holdings is paramount to its long-term performance. He reviews the relevant documentation regarding CBT’s AGM and notes the following:
− CBT currently has 10 individuals sitting on its board, 3 of whom are independent. The Chairman is the former CEO who stepped down last year.
Patrick believes that the Chair cannot be considered as an independent member of the board. He schedules an engagement meeting with the Chair to discuss the matter.
What could be the most favourable outcome from a governance perspective?
选项：
A.The Chair steps down and the CEO assumes the chairmanship, and one of the independent directors becomes the lead independent director. B.The Chair steps down and remains on the board, and one of the existing independent directors is elected Chair. C.An additional independent director is added to the board to increase the level of independence. D.The Chair steps down from the Chair role, and a newly elected independent director is appointed Chair.解释：
CBT目前有10位董事，其中3位是独立董事。董事会主席是去年离职的前任首席执行官。Patrick认为，主席不能被视为董事会的独立成员。他安排与主席开会讨论此事。从治理的角度来看，最有利的结果就是D选项，董事会主席辞去其职务，新选出的独立董事被任命为董事长，保证董事会主席的独立性。老师，B不也是选一个独立董事任董事长吗，为啥不对？
