2.11 Elect Manuel V. Pangilinan as Director Vote rationale: The board should guide company strategy and monitor management performance without conflicts of interest. A majority of shareholder-elected board members in a non-controlled company should be independent of management, dominant shareholders, and related third parties. In a majority-controlled company, at least a third of board members should be independent. Global Voting Guidelines Board independence Vote rationale: Board decisions that are particularly vulnerable to conflicts of interest should have additional safeguards. Management should not serve on the audit or remuneration committees. The audit committee should have a majority of independent, shareholder-elected members. Global Voting Guidelines Board independence Vote rationale: The board should exercise objective judgement on corporate affairs and be able to make decisions independently of management. The board must establish clear mechanisms to ensure effective oversight. We believe shareholders are best served when the chairperson and CEO roles are held by different individuals.
