Hong Kong’s stock exchange plans to take the hatchet to directorships to whittle down the concentration of board seats among the city’s corporate elites to improve governance, a challenge that its chief executive called a “perpetual work in progress.”
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) is seeking public feedback on its plan to limit independent directorships to a maximum of six per person, each tenure capped at nine years, according to a statement. The consultation is open until August 16.
