1.7 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? (V3 Mock#l8)
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.
答案先D.
c的意思是说原来的主席下台,仍保留在董事会,但从外面再找一个独立董事担任主席.这样的话,独立董事为4名(原来10+1=11),比率为36%左右,主席又是独立董事.D的原来的下台,不在董事会,再选一名独立董事出任主席,这样的话,独立董事还是3名,成员由10名-1名=9名,比率为33%.
