Facebook的股東希望扎克伯格下臺範例
Zuckerberg is currently both the chief executive of Facebook as well as chairman of its board of directors.
扎克伯格如今既是Facebook的首席執行官，也是其董事會主席。The shareholders calling for him to step down as chairman say doing so would help him focus on running the company.
股東們表示要求他辭去董事長職務是因爲這樣做將有助於他專注於經營公司。The issue will be decided via a vote on Proposal 6 of its proxy statement: “Stockholder Proposal Regarding an Independent Chair.” The Council of Institutional Investors, which supports a vote for Mark Zuckerberg to step down as chairman, argues:
這個問題將通過對於代理權的6號提案投票得到解決，即“關於獨立主席的股東提案。”機構投資者理事會支持馬克扎克伯格辭去董事會職務，他辯稱：
Having an independent chair helps the board carry out its primary duty — to monitor the management of the company on behalf of its shareowners.
擁有一個獨立的主席可以幫助董事會履行其主要職責 - 代表其股東監督公司的管理。A CEO who also serves as chair can exert excessive influence on the board and its agenda, weakening the board’s oversight of management.
同時擔任主席的首席執行官可能對董事會及其議程施加過多影響，削弱董事會對管理層的監督。
Separating the chair and CEO positions reduces this conflict, and an independent chair provides the clearest separation of power between the CEO and the rest of the board.
將主席和首席執行官職位分開可以減少這種衝突，獨立主席可以使首席執行官和董事會其他成員之間建立最明確的權力分離。However, though a vote will take place today at the company’s annual general meeting, it’s virtually impossible that it will pass. That’s because Mark Zuckerberg holds 60% of the voting power of shareholders all by himself. However, as the BBC notes, if the majority of third-party shareholders do vote for the motion, it could give Zuckerberg something to think about.
然而，雖然今天將在公司的年度股東大會上進行投票，但它幾乎很難通過。因爲馬克扎克伯格獨自持有股東60％的投票權。然而，正如英國廣播公司指出的那樣，如果大多數第三方股東確實投票支持該議案，那麼可能會促使扎克伯格對認真思考這項提案。This isn’t the first time people have wanted Zuck to step down from his dual roles. In recent weeks both digital rights groups and investor groups have called for the Facebook CEO to cede his role as chairman.
這不是人們第一次希望Zuck退出雙重角色。最近幾周，數字版權組織和投資者團體都要求Facebook首席執行官放棄他的主席職位。
